Adjusting

[hollyking]

I had a follow up with my doctor to check how I was responding to insulin and adjust the amount I take. My blood glucose numbers were lower but not low enough so he increased the amount I take each day. I need to call back next week with my numbers and see if it needs to be adjusted any further.

While I was there we discussed vitamin D and he said that everyone in this region should be taking some. I also mentioned an article I read about Metformin causing vitamin B12 deficiency. My doctor suggested I start taking some B12 supplements and he scheduled tests to see if I am low in D or B12 the next time I have the A1C tests. He also added a some tests, such as thyroid, to see if there were any other problems.

I'm glad you're keeping up on this. It's a difficult thing to deal with.
