Okay I met with the CDE last week and had a very good meeting. First she re-classed me as a type 1.5 diabetic. Still not sure if that was for real or something in passing. Will ask about that later. We chatted and she looked over my log book with all the blue and yellow stripes. Needless to say she wasn’t happy. First she told me I’ve lost plenty of weight and to stop and then we were going on a short roller coaster ride while we readjust my insulin. Wheeeeeeeee. According t her even though my Hb1Ac is at 6,x my BG is all over the chart and yes I am eligible for a pump. Am I willing to test more than once a day… er yes ! Am I scared of technology ? Nope ! Am I willing to be tethered to something 7/24 ? For freedom… yes ! So lets move on to the next couple of steps… First is to prove I can carb count. If it goes in my mouth count it. How many carbs are in my foot ?? Is that with or without catsup? Yes I’ve done this before but now I’ve got to write it all down and it’s been years ! I honestly think all of us should take a week and do this once a year just for a refresher and for our families sake as well. My nephew is always quite surprised how much he eats. In two weeks take this in to the RD/CDe and show her my logs.
Also in here is find out the cost and what my insurance co-pay will be. That may be the deal breaker…
More later after figure out how many carbs are in this taco.
