The state of me

Aug 17, 2012 19:54

The last couple of weeks have been spent visiting my various doctors. I confused my GP when I said "I hated to admit it, but I've felt great since I started taking metformin." He asked why I'd hate admitting to feeling better and I had to explain that it was because I didn't want to admit that I really am diabetic ( Read more... )

health, sleep apnea, rl

We have too much in common. I was diagnosed diabetic in 2004. Test myself 3 times a day. Keep notes to show your doctor.
I hope you will continue to feel better.

I sympathize with not wanting to admit you have a health problem. At least insurance will pay for what you need to keep it under control.

I am happy your insurance is going to help you.

Good news for the metformin and the neurobod :) I hope the singulair works for you. maddie24c's J takes that doesn't he?

Is there anything they can do to help your apnea? Other than the CPAP machine I mean.

My nasal passages are always swollen. I usually take pseudoephedrine (sudafed) 120mg and a BreatheRight strip which only helps a little.

Not sure if your insurance would pay for it, especially without a Dr. rx, but have you considered the Nasal CPAP type masks? Some cover your nose, not your mouth and some fit just inside each nostril forcing the oxygen into each.
