Thanks for the feedback. So sorry to hear about your hypo–that’s what my mom experienced at the rehab/nursing facility and ended up in a coma for a week. She has since three more low episodes/hospitalizations while in rehab since March. The endo has labeled her labile diabetes with possible gastroparesis.
I absolutely love my PCP and he is really helpful in so many ways. I can talk to him about anything–so I will ask him about the CGM and what type of insulin would be best–traditional or the Afrezza. The endo appointment (at the endo’s request) was scheduled to discuss my labs and start me on an insulin regimen or Victoza.
Thankfully, my PCP’s office has responded (very quickly and efficiently) with an appointment for me next Tuesday at 9:40 a.m. My BGs are becoming more unstable each day even though I’m active and low carbing–I think I’m moving out of the honeymoon phase. I was officially diagnosed in August 2013. Based on the initial visit with the second opinion endo I should have been started on insulin rather than remain on diet/exercise after Metformin bombed.
