Ha! Take that nurse Marilyn!

Never one to take no for an answer...

Dr A:

Marilyn called me Friday to tell me that my glucose test results were slightly high and I needed to do the three hour screen. Since I have the meter, etc., and already know the drill, can I skip the screen and just start testing my blood sugars at home? If so, what testing schedule should I use?

Thanks,
Catherine

Hang in there,
Dr. A


So I win and nurse Marilyn loses! neener neener neener!

Yay! Good for you for knowing what was right and pushing it further. I'm glad you saved yourself from the 3 hour test. Hey, if you ever get sick of law, you could always consider medicine... ha ha ha :-)
