No insulin yet.

Saw my GP a few weeks ago and he ranted about my high BG and said I would
need to get put on insulin but that he wasn't going to do it. Was going to
let my Endo. do that and he was certain the Endo. would do it. I was not so
certain.
Finally got those labs back today. A1c was 7.8. For this particular lab,
it says goal is 7.0 or < and if 8.0 or >, consider treatment regimen
modifications.
Odd thing is though, that lab (at a different hospital than my Endo.) always
has higher numbers than the Endo. Last time I was 7.8 at that lab and 7.1
at the other.
Endo. today didn't take any labs since these were so newly done. He also
mulled it over for a while and said no insulin for me just yet. Said Byetta
was not an option given my gastroparesis. Kinda thought that given what I'd
read about it. Said insulin would cause me to gain weight and I've been
gaining lately already and he's not liking it.
So... Here I am once again. GP will probably be angry at me for not going
on insulin.
Endo. told me just to do the best I can to get my numbers down. Kind of
hard given my limited diet. Gastroparesis limits what I can eat and the
food allergies limit it further. Am down to eating 2 meals a day and taking
in less calories than ever. And yet I am gaining weight. Told me to try to
exercise more. Also kind of hard to do given my disability and other
medical problems.
Blah!!!
