Yearly date with DN and internist tomorrow. It will be my first date with a DN too, and they've planned in an hour for it
It looks like I'm starting to get used to those appointments, nerves have only started over the weekend instead of 2 weeks ago
It helps a lot that at my first appointment with the internist, 6 months ago, it became clear that she was fine with my low hba1c, so I'm not preparing for a fight about that. As far as I'm aware internist trumps DN, so I'll look up the letter to my GP where internist states she's happy with my hba1c. Should the DN be difficult about it I'll show her that letter, problem solved!
Of course I can only show them pretty ugly Libre graphs. Last sensor was unusually unpredictable. Current sensor is fine, but I've been fighting one of those lovely childrens diseases with itchy red spots for over a week which has messed with my insulin needs and numbers. And I'm pretty sure diabetes just likes to give me ugly graphs to take to my appointments. Never mind, I'll explain them away
Bloodwork came back last week, everything's fine except for lowish vitamin D. I'm already on supplements for that so we'll probably up them a bit.
Visited the GP last week with the virus, he took my BP, which was perfect, so no need to stress about that either
They sent me a horrible questionnaire last week, as my hospital record is pretty much empty except for bloodwork, and I definitely don't look forward to the expected talk about weight, smoking, alcohol and depression. Fingers crossed I like the DN or she can have that conversation on her own.
So in summary: Everything will be fine, I am nervous but not nearly as nervous as last time and things look a lot better now I've written them out
