Default Aaarrrrgggghhhh!

I need to vent. I am so mad at myself I could just kick me in the butt.

Everything was going great, got my approval, got the new A1C, been following the diet expecting it to be under 7.0. NOOOOOOO! It went up from 7.2 to 7.3!!!!!!

Now I have to wait another month and take another blood test, so I think I am looking at another six weeks in the least until surgery.

They were very nice, said they could send me to an endocronologist to tweak my meds, or I could go back to my PCP. I opted to go back to my PCP because I know one of the meds can be bumped up slightly and that may make the difference. I also need to get off my butt and start exercising!

Okay, I'm done with the rant, feel free to give me a kick in the butt, I need it!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

well being during the surgery! ITs better to be thorough!

devastated me!

Awwww, (((((((HUGS)))))))
What is your fasting glucose level, and your random glucose level?
Do you know that ADA (American Diabetes Association) reccomendation for diabetics having elective surgery is, on admission,
1) fasting glucose level below 126mg/dl (7mmol/l) and
2) all random glucose level below 200mg/dl (11.1mmmol/l)
and no reference to A1C.
You know A1C takes a couple of months to come down, so if your glucose level meets the above conditions, ask your surgeon what he/she thinks.

Good luck!!

That stinks!
After your surgery, though chances are good that you won't have as many problem with your diabetes as now. I was off all meds. within 2 weeks.
That should give you a little extra incentive.
