Had a check-in with Dr. Brown Tuesday. He has been incredibly flexible in allowing me to go in for visits in the afternoon and not requiring me to go mid-morning when the other diabetics have to go. Both of us actually enjoyed the time for a calm check-in without the rush of 25 other patients. In fact, for a change I was the only one in the waiting room. I had to leave school about 40 minutes early and, luckily, I have an amazingly accomodating teammate who took my kids for the last part of the day. It is such a relief to work in such a supportive environment!
Everything looks great according to the doc. Blood sugars are within the range he'd like to see. He really appreciates that I adjust and monitor everything on my own--apparently not the norm. We measured the belly which is also in range. My blood pressure has been low, so we've been staying on top of that, too. Because everything looks right on track he actually gave me permission to schedule my next appointment a whole month out! He said that is about the length of time between non-diabetic patient appointments! Of course, this was with the idea that if anything changes of if I have any questions, concerns, etc. I can't hesitate to call or get in there. Understood.
Next scheduled appointment: October 21st!
