What do you eat?

Hi - here's a link to some great information on normal blood sugar levels. I hope it helps: https://type2diabetes.com/nutrition/when-check-blood-sugar. Best, - Cody (Team Member)

thanks 😊

Dr Russo is a DO who has been there less than the FNP I was seeing. Apparently, I’m a stepchild because of the negative review I gave the surgeon who I saw for consult on gallbladder surgery. I’ve been blocked from sending emails, tech support wont answer my inquiry either. When I call I get transferred around endlessly thats how I ended up with Dr Russos voicemail. I then got a call from the FNPs assistant and was rudely asked what’s going on. I explained that I needed to have blood work ordered from the local hospital rather than the clinic who now only does blood work for local susanville drs and clinic patients. I waited 6 days and no lab ordered were ever ordered. I’m amazed that I’m so intimidating that the NP can’t even tell me over the phone herself that she no longer wants to see me. I’m sure this is going to apply to the whole clinic. the blood work was supposed to be for a viral count and a genotype which I’m a 1A and told them that. Cant get a referral when no one there will talk to me. I’m being punished. Also of note, are many errors and omissions in all my notes from NP and Dr visits. No mention anywhere of my last vaccinations including the 3rd covid vax, pneumonia, flu shot and 1st shingle shots I got from Riteaid all on the same day. Following which I was knocked out sick in bed for about 3 mo. No mention of chronic back/neck pain or fibromyalgia, or, the chronic 24/7 itching. Bleeding all the time. Sun makes my skin burn. My eyes feel like they’re constantly filled with stringy sand and hurt. No mention of how sick the insulin and hctz made me that they prescribed, that i stopped them cause “I didn’t feel well”. I’ve not felt well for years and I’m used to that. But when all the same symptoms I went in with that had gone away and returned even worse, edema so bad up to my knees, my tongue swelling and cracking same as my hands, I know when I’m more than not feeling well. She also gave me 2 antibiotics supposedly in anticipation of gallbladder surgery (that I was told I didn’t need) I’m once again stuck with vag yeast infection and oral thrush that I am left to deal with on my own. Drs seem to make my life more miserable when I see them. I cant call for a referral. Only thing I can do is call the dr i want the referral to go to in Redding (2hr drive away) and ask if they will contact the FNP I was seeing. If not I’m done, there are no physicians that will accept new patients or even ones that I would trust. Local healthcare is an evil joke. I’m a member of Exit International as well as the Hemlock Society. So there is hope.

Hi . I hope you won't need the support of either of those groups any time soon. Your hep C is curable and treating it might help to bring your other conditions under control, at least the type 2 diabetes. Could you find a GP in Redding you can visit on that same day? It might be helpful to start somewhere new and simply focus on getting rid of your hep C. - Lori (Team Member)

My A1C’s 7.1, still higher than it should be, but it’s down from 7.3, and going in the right direction. Jardiance has tamed the wake up effect, so I’m eager to see if my next A1C is under 7.

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that your A1C is moving in the right direction. That must be such a good feeling. Fingers crossed that your next reading is below 7. You got this 😀. - Cody (Team Member)
