Went to the dr...(warning, girl stuff)

She didn't like my blood sugar. She didn't like the fact that I've been bleeding for a month now. Even more, she didn't like her discoveries during the internal exam.

She warned me that I will likely need to begin taking insulin for the elevated blood sugar, that decision to be made after a meeting with the diabetic nutritionist in town. My A1C is 8.2 (normal is <6) and my fasting BS was 245. It's my own fault. I could have been exercising more, and I could have been monitoring the sugar I was eating. This is probably my bad even though it IS on both sides of my parents' genetics.

And today, (scheduled "asap" after my appt. yesterday) an ultrasound to "rule out" tumor(s). I remember too well when I worked as a medical assistant - followups made so quickly and outside of normal office hours did not usually have happy outcomes. I am curious why I don't feel freaked out. Instead, I feel disconnected, but I'll take it for the moment as a blessing from the universe at large.


I am currently Quiet
I am listening to the kids getting ready for the 2hr delay
