I know I started tracking my levels right from the start with Gavin. I did not wait unitl they told me I had GD I just started doing it on my own. I was able to give them a log of all my levels since the begining of my PG once they told me I was GD again. I hope you can get the test done sooner. But I would just start checking them any way if I were you.AJW5403https://www.blogger.com/profile/04226074790172704619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-72426956174555895122007-08-04T12:40:00.000-04:002007-08-04T12:40:00.000-04:00well done, Catherine. very, very well done. :)well done, Catherine. very, very well done. :)Bonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403701620708365171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-34376428580536241192007-08-03T22:58:00.000-04:002007-08-03T22:58:00.000-04:00That is exaactly the type of thing I would want to...That is exaactly the type of thing I would want to say but never would.

As a nurse since the Dark Ages, I...Oh, good grief! As a nurse since the Dark Ages, I am embarrassed at her condescending attitude, although I am SURE I've stuck my foot in my mouth all too often over the years! I hope you e-mailed the doc today, as you said you were going to do. If not, you will, of course, just go ahead and check those sugars on your own and act accordingly...right? You know, if I had been Marilyn, I hope I would have appreciated your comments, and learned from them. One thing I have learned in 40-some years in the medical field...clients and their families are often a better source of good information and education than some of the required continuing ed things I have had to attend. Sounds like that might be similar in the legal field, as well, from your post earlier in the week. :) Keep on doing what you are doing! So much of good medicine is based on instinct and just a "sense" about something, because all the facts and knowledge in the world just aren't enough in many cases. You know yourself better than anyone else. I am so very glad your doctor recognizes and respects that, and seems like a genuinely concerned person who takes all of your comments and ideas very seriously. Thank you for having the courage and conviction to state what you need to say, to get the optimal care and respect that you deserve!marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257226526445351111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-73090161872849291302007-08-03T16:53:00.000-04:002007-08-03T16:53:00.000-04:00Wow!!

I could have never done that, but I would have spent the rest of the day thinking about all of the things I should have said (and none of them would have been as good as what you DID say). You are awesome!!
