Waiting On Insurance Approval For Meds

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

My A1C is 14.3 and my glucose was 301 on the bloodwork ordered by my doctor. I've been feeling sick for some time. It's blowing my mind that I have to wait for insurance approval. It's been almost a week. I've been barely functioning for so long, I just want to start treatment to feel better. I don't know if theses numbers indicate if I should go to the ER?

A DiabetesTeam Member

I really hope you went. I’ve been in and out of the ER due to DKA. It’s awful! Please get help.

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Inverary, ON

Unfortunately for us the Beast we call Diabetes seems to really like destroying Kidneys - 1 in 3 of us will develop some level of Kidney Disease simply because we are Diabetic

I'm in those statistics - I have Stage 2 CKD

If I don't want to be part of that 15% of us that sees things end because of CKD then I need to "behave"

Keeping your blood sugar below 8.7 mmols/157 "as many minutes of the day as possible" will… read more

A DiabetesTeam Member
