Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008update from Dancing Hypo
Hello all Sorry for the "I am special" subject line I wanted to reply to all your posts I have been wrapping up the semester and trying to get this thing under control New theory is that no one told my endocrine system all the rules about what is T1 and what is T2 :) I will be getting more lab results next week my fasting bg was under 100 one day then 2 days later with no diet change and similar activty level was 137 this morning we did it again wonder if it is best 2 out of 3 to decide My ac1 is 4 something and they are running that again also along with all the thyroid stuff no steroids the 2 times I remember taking those for poison ivy and a cold in high school I remember eating everything until my stomach was so full and still being hungry but the last time I had any steroids was 2 years ago I have also passed all the toxicology tests I am really really drug free All this makes me wonder if doctors are lied to all the time or just most of the time. One of the med students -- resident or intern or whatever -- was telling me that most patients with weird presentations are not so difficult once the doctors learn all the facts Guess I am naive I always tell the folks who can knock you out and cut you open everything I probably give them too much information like when I was told to track my daily consumption I noted all the "transactions" all the in and the frequency and form of the out. Have been informed that a food journal is just for the in part. And they don't even grade it :) Thanks for all the help I am so thankful for the respect you have given me -- even when some of my early posts made it clear I was totally not paying attention to some of the information Doing the moving home thing the next few days I will post updates and yes more questions soon Lisa BTW all A's -- maybe the stress of this got me to really pay attention to that Biology stuff <G> Hi Lisa, Thanks for checking in. I was wondering how you were doing. While your numbers are sometimes obviously abnormal, they don't seem terrible. It will give your endocrinologist a chance to figure out what's going on. Is s/he testing you for Type 1 antibodies? As for doctors being lied to by patients, I use to work in a clinic, and I think sometimes patients are in denial about their lifestyle behaviors and minimize their culpability. Also, some patients don't realize when something they are aware of is important to the diagnosis and treatment, and fail to tell the doctor. Have a good trip home, and many congrats on the straight A's!

One of the tests required of women before getting radioactive iodine is a pregnancy test (unless your post-meno *&* they believe you, as my hospital did -- but there are questions in about three different places in the paperwork that you have to answer on the subject in different ways & they *all* have to be "right") -- even some women who have had a hysterectomy have been required to have a pg test. Women have been known to lie about being pregnant -- if they knew about it, which they sometimes don't -- & of course lie about their sex lives, birth control habits, etc. And this is even when they *know* because they're told that RAI is a danger to the baby. bj >> As for doctors being lied to by patients, I use to work in a clinic, and I >> think sometimes patients are in denial about their lifestyle behaviors and [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >even when they *know* because they're told that RAI is a danger to the baby. >bj G'day G'day bj, One of the hardest things for me to deal with emotionally is that fetal alcohol syndrome damage is most likely to happen in the period of time before the woman knows she is pregnant. Maybe its just me struggling with the binge drinking patterns evident in some section of society today. They can have terrible lasting outcomes for the children born to mothers who binge drink. Many blithely think they are acting responsibly and will give up drinking when it is time to get pregnant and have children. Best wishes.

Nicely put Michelle, That is especially likely to happen if the patient has had something for years. To them it wouldn't be a presenting problem. Had that experience myself with a new GP who didn't realise I had multiple myeloma etc etc. >Have a good trip home, and many congrats on the straight A's! Indeed, Well done. Best wishes and congratulations on taking steps to get things sorted.

The multiple myeloma is something you have to contend with all the time, so it just seems obvious. However, unless the new GP had a chance to review your records, it's not obvious to him.

Get a handle on it early, whatever it is, and life will be easier. >Guess I am naive I always tell the folks who can knock you out and cut >you open everything I probably give them too much information like >when I was told to track my daily consumption I noted all the >"transactions" all the in and the frequency and form of the out. >Have been informed that a food journal is just for the in part.

Congrats :D Good luck on the moving home. Nicky. T2 dx 05/04 + underactive thyroid D&E, 100ug thyroxine Last A1c 5.6% BMI 25 > [ . . . ] Hey, Lisa. Congrats on the all A's. Outstanding! Yes. The nurses in the hospital weren't too happy with my detailed stool descriptions, but my Diabetician wrote everything down and asked me questions. Enjoy your stay home and don't slack off on your observations or questions. Take care. SignatureNick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! I've known US vets who served as far back as the Spanish American War. They are all my heroes! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten.
