So, Part One of our personal health care uptake was to finally get accepted by a new doctor. For me, it was fortunate to find one that has in-house diabetes resources, rather than having to get that vital component elsewhere.
For Mrs. That Dan Guy, who despises going to the doctor, it is a series of test and pokes and prods, as they assess us both from a baseline starting point. Unlike walk-in clinics, where the doctor typically comes in with a prescription pad, and a countdown timer to move you along as fast as possible, this doctor really wants to know what shape we are currently in. One clue: Awful!
We are BOTH off this morning for fasting blood tests, which means we could not have anything to eat after 9 PM last night. We also could not have coffee, which means I am actually going to be trying to herd a bear into the car in about 25 minutes. Which is tricky, because I am so dopey myself from caffeine deficiencies...I may get mauled in the process...
After this testing session, I get to see a diabetes comprehensive care nurse next week, and from there, hope to get my diabetes maintenance under FULL control.
Of course, that will likely come with some unpleasant side-effects. Farewell potato chips! Sayonara Mickey D!! So long, anything with taste!
If I don't make it, give my toothbrush museum collection to my dentist....
Later!

Such drama! I don't think you had to herd a bear into your car? I didn't see no bear? Sheesh.
