A few one-liners-ish from my endo appointment today....
"How many time do you check your blood sugar everyday Ms. Zuber?" - Nurse lady downloading my meter/pump
"Probably 5-7 times depending on the day" - Me
"Oh good, some diabetics just don't test enough, I think my dad is going to die of Diabetes" - Nurse lady
I usually don't like to be told that someone is going to die from the disease I have, just sayin'.
"Good cholesterol is like Pac-Man...it eats up the bad stuff" - dietitian
Nice visual.
"I don't recommend grapes for weight loss or lowering cholesterol" - dietitian
Seriously, did anyone else know that? cause I sure didn't.
"Mmmm....frozen Vitamuffins" - Me
"The last time I wore a CGM sensor it really hurt when they put it in" - Me
"Oh, they don't hurt at all" - NP
"Well the needle is bigger, and they are tougher to put in" - NP
hmmm....something doesn't quite add up here.
Generally it was a good visit. Turns out I have lost some weight, my A1c while not better, was not worse...it was exactly the same, and I have a better game plan for lowering my cholesterol while keeping in mind my Diabetes and Chris. I got my prescription fixed and I am lined up to try a trial CGM sensor linked to my pump next time.
It may suck to drive up there, and flex my time through the work week, but my health and well-being is worth it. I deserve a team, committed to my health and willing to help me when I ask the hard questions.
Ok, that's enough diabetes talk for one week now isn't it!?

Hmm interesting...well at least your A1c didn't go up! And who knew about grapes?? Totally random!
