[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 140817, member: 1697"] Ironically, I had to do yet another "history update" at this last appointment at GP and one of the first questions was about alcohol consumption. So it was right there. Family history also was right there, listing my brother with type 1 diabetes. My GP did say becuz the rheumy Rx'ed pred, HE should be who orders blood s ugar, routinely, - my rheumy DOES order liver enzymes routinely. I do tend to agree with GP about that. Even if the rheumy would then have GP, GI or internist deal with abnormal results. Sadly I travel quite far to have a rheumy. There is not one closer, when I was last in his office, there actually were a few others from my area there for that same reason. My part of the state has a hard time attracting and keeping specialists of any type becuz- according to newspaper and docs I have talked to or worked with, the malpractice etc is just ridiculous. Especially ridiculous. So, maybe I will begin crossing the border into the next state. Actually it is not far at all. I just never did do that before becuz my old insurance would not cover out of state, but, now my Medicare should. I think the nurse who talked to me was just being...a jerk. She made an incorrect assumption and ran with it. She assumed I drank and assumed I already knew I had diabetes and hepatitis. I have been studying everything very hard now yesterday and today.....between my nurseing textbooks and internet and several books from bookstore and emailing my brother, and things I remember from first husband (he was diabetic altho he died from it in 86) SO yes, I have read about insulin resistance, too, and metabolic syndrome......so, I am working on a list of more questions for a doctor. Meanwhile I am working on assembling meals that I can eat that are agreeable and favorable for the combination of information I DO have about my status (the various diagnosis'es). DRagged my bicycle back out as the snow is now melting.....sought out my doggies leash so we can walk more...... So yeah, I have begun to deal with the issue at hand, the diagnosis.and yeah I know that nurse attitude does not change the test results......but- I am still hurt and angry. People do not have to be careless or rude. Not so pleasant news can be delivered in a better manner. and in a more timely manner. Whew, so much to learn! So much to work on! So many questions.
