Saw my pcp today for a diabetic follow up since my endo retired in Dec. I'm awaiting a call from my next endo for my first appointment but not sure when that will be. My A1C went up to a 9.6 from an 8. This was really difficult to hear since I've already cut out so many foods from my diet. My carb intake consists of quinoa, a variety of beans, and fruit. I dont take sugar in my coffee anymore. I dont drink dairy. I read every single label on food before I purchase it. I test my bg before every meal and take my insulin as directed. I do everything I've been advised to do by every nurse practitioner and doctor I've ever seen yet I continue to fail miserably. I'm beginning to believe I'm too stupid to manage this disease. I saw my doctor today to hopefully get the Libra 14 day monitor (I think it's called that) but she said Medicare may not approve it. I'm at a complete fucking loss as what to do next and having a shit day. This subreddit is my favorite place I have to vent my frustrations and you all mean the world to me. Thank you for reading my rant.
