What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

7 this morning and rose to 8 after a really stressful morning which I really could have done without! Someone not welcome knocked this morning and felt my wrath big time. Doors can sound soooooo good when slammed I am very ashamed to say

Nothing like a good door slamming session
 
I didn’t test today, it rarely changes and I usually forget. So, let’s guess at 5.9….
I saw my doctor yesterday, she’s simply the best and has been my greatest supporter for 15 years. She’s ok with me refusing statins, just wrote on my chart that I don’t tolerate them (I’ve never taken them). She gives me the tests I ask for (fasting insulin and c peptide this time) and never pushes anything on me. She’s ok with me eating only meat and eggs. Sadly she will be retiring very soon as she is quite unwell, I am devastated. Here in Canada it’s very hard to get a family doctor….there are zero available, I will not have a doctor. I have no idea how my prescriptions will get requested, how I’ll get bloodwork…..nothing. Going to emergency is our option, isn’t that crazy? There is a list I can go on for a doctor should spaces become available. Some pharmacies have virtual doctors…maybe that would help.
I am pretty upset but now I have some legwork to do.
dang….
 
Might it be an idea to join that list now? @Bcgirl. Should a place become available in the months before your current doctor retires, you could transfer right away and ensure continuity of treatment. Is that permissible?
