My doctor’s nurse called me back and told me that my IVP came back ok and that I could restart my Metformin. I will be coming back next Friday to give some urine so they can check it for blood again. At least the doctor thinks my bod is getting back to “normal” whatever that means.

Well, yesterday was a very frustrating day in general. Nothing seemed to go right or be working the way it was supposed to at work, and I got a rude email from a fellow frustrated coworker, which put me in a right foul mood. I don’t see myself going out of my way to talk to him anytime soon.
The doctor’s office was supposed to call in my metformin refill last week, I checked all the pharmacies I ever use because the pharmacy I told them to use didn’t have it, so I thought maybe they called it in to a different one and no one had heard or seen my refill. Finally the pharmacy I have decided to use all the time now because I don’t want to have to wonder where a prescription was called in is on the other line with the doctor’s office, taking my called in prescription. I ask them about my lancets and strips for my new meter, and they say they will be in this afternoon, so I decide to go pick everything up yesterday afternoon.
I go pick my stuff up, they only have six of my metformin. So I will have to go back later this week to get the rest of it. Then I get home, they sent the wrong lancets and the test strips weren’t in the bag at all. I call them back, “We didn’t get the strips in today like we thought we would. Try again tomorrow.” I’ll come back when I run out of metformin, hopefully it will be in by then.
Today some of the technical issues have been improved. I will try to get a haircut.
I hope today finishes better than yesterday. -

I was informed that my insurance company will only pay for one HbA1c test every 91 days. That makes sense, but it wasn’t something that I knew. I cannot wait to see what my next one will be.
Still no word on the blood tests from yesterday, but I’ve noticed my urine getting lighter, so I am thinking my days on metformin may be over.

My doctor’s visit went well I think, he was pleased at the progress I had made. He wants me to try and keep fasting under 100 and 2 hours after eating under 120. He also added Metformin to my Amaryl.
He referred me to an ophthalmologist and a podiatrist. He advised me to try to walk 20-30 minutes a day and do some strength training too.He’s a great doctor, he listened to all my complaints and questions and didn’t treat me like he was in a hurry to get me out of the door. It’s nice also to have a little affirmation that I’m doing what I am supposed to do.
