New Endo

                    I went to my new Endocrinologist visit today and was pretty pleased. They came up with a new idea to deal with my infusion set issues. I am now doing hydrocortisone cream before I insert a new infusion set. They think my body is reacting to the infusion sets likes its a virus or foreign substance which I thought it was the issue all along. Hopefully that will work out. If not then I will switch to Apidra. They also are looking at my basal rates because my daily basal rate its 18 units and the carbs I am eating is on average only 5 units of insulin a day and I am actually full. They said normally it is a 50 percent basal and 50 percent bolus. I am not a big eater since I have been gluten free and honestly I am usually so busy eating does not always come first like it should. I also know that relates back to my eating disorder I have dealt with as well. I am glad this new Endocrinologist is now looking at other options to solve my issues. They are also looking at why I have Osteopenia which is basically per-osteoporsis at such a young age. They discovered by low bone density at age 29. I am glad someone seems to care about it as much as I do.

                       So far so good we will see what happens next appointment. They are looking at some other diabetic related things to get me back on track. I guess I will see where it all goes but really excited I was not lectured for having lows but instead was treated like a person who is trying to manage their diabetes. It was quite refreshing.
