New Doctor

So, this is the crazy new doctor. I thought about it for a while and then called to make an appointment to get information. They wanted me to call my insurance first. It turns out he is a preferred provider on my insurance and the state insurance programs all take him too. I thought that was a good recommendation. So I went and decided I will do what ever he says because I want to be well.
My first visit was on June 26th. He told me all about my disease and how my blood sugar is causing all of my other problems. The most shocking part was that he said that I had diabetes 10-15 years before I was diagnosed. He also said that gall bladder problems are one of the first signs of diabetes. That was interesting because I had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder in 1999 which is 9 years before I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2008. He said that all that sugar causes emotional issues and mood swings and that my pancreas is in bad shape. Wow! So he gave me a plan:
Part 1:
My mom thinks I got this part wrong but it's my favorite part so I'm not gonna ask him about it. She went with me. He said I can eat anything I want and as much as I want. Woot! The catch is I can only eat 3 meals a day. Not 2, not 4 and no snacks! That's harder than it sounds.
Then when he found out I have sleep apnea he was pretty upset that I don't use my cpap machine because that can make all of my problems worse so he told me I had to use my cpap machine.
I have really bad migraines. I treat them with excedrine, diet coke and ben and jerry's chocolate fudge brownie. He said no caffeine. Waaa! At least I get to keep ben and jerry as long as it is part of a meal. Ice cream for dinner?
Lastly I have to check my blood sugar 4 times per day. My poor little fingers!
Then he sent me for a ton of lab tests.
Here it is in a shorter list....
1. 3 meals a day, no snacks
2. Wear your cpap machine every night
3. No caffeine
4. Check your blood sugar 4 times per day.
