Thank You Kyturner! I will pick those up at GNC on 20% off day next week!
Well, I somehow survived the doctor's appointment. I must admit it was rather anticlimactic. Pretty weird actually. Too long to go into completely, but I did whip out my glucometer when they said they had no "testing devices" in the office. My BG was 145...it had been 220 the night before (many Xanaxs before). My BP was 141/88. Doctor told me that BP and BG would come down if I lost weight (I weighed 220 in his office...guess I need to change my profile).
My daughter went in with me and told him she wanted to buy me a membership to Crunch for my birthday. He said "Good Deal". I said..."Don't I need a stress test or something?" He said I would be fine, but gave me the names of some pretty fancy Endo's here in Atlanta, GA. Bruce Bode??? Anyway...said they would need to order any tests like that, as he is a OB/GYN. He did give me a prescription for Metformin 500 tabs.
I have been taking a tab with dinner over the weekend, but I am not sure I should be since he didn't order any bloodwork to check my kidneys, etc. Plus...they are giving me some "gastly" problems.
My husband thinks I should just go to a brand new doctor and get a complete physical before I take anything. So...that's where I am at right now.
Any thoughts? BG is back in the 140's today and I lost 5lbs over the weekend.
Hope everyone had a really good Holiday Weekend!
