How do I convince Endos I am not a diabetic?From: Missy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 29 Apr 2003 22:13:29 -0500 (CDT)
I was diagnosed with pcos by my gyn 2 years. I am on a bcp and glucophage and lipitor and making great progress. I also eat right and exercise. My gyn wants me to get an endocrinologist because I still have a few on and off symptoms hanging around that she feels are endo related. So I try. But I jump from one to another. For some reason, no matter what I say to these endos, the minute I tell them I'm on glucophage, they start looking in the direction of possible diatetes, start testing me and treating me like a diabetic, and therefore, are looking in the completely wrong direction. I never truly tested positive for IR, but had all the symptoms, and glucophage did wonders for me, I love it. But I certainly was never diabetic. My glucose level has never ever been anywhere near high enough to even consider it. If anything, I've been more hypoglycemic all my life. I'm going to try a new endo soon....again. What can I say to this new doctor to get her on the right track so she doesn't start making the same mistake as all the other endos by looking in the direction of diabetes and again, getting offtrack. (Maybe I should walk in with a big sign in red letters that says WARNING, I AM NOT DIABETIC!) Hahaha Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.
