Well I saw my endo again. What happened? Afrezza lived up to the hype! Once again my A1C was down. Not by a ton. Many report their levels decrease by 2 and 3 points. I'm SO happy for them, but my reality is my new level is 6.8. Do y'all see that? 6.8, take a minute and let it sink in.
I told Dr Asamoah that I knew it needed to be lower, but I was feeling so great on Afrezza and Tresiba that I was happy. He looked at me and told me he was thrilled with my levels. It's not easy pleasing this man. He takes diabetes very seriously and has no problem letting me know when I mess up :/
Before this appointment though, I had a Tricare hiccup. It was so weird. I went to Kroger to get my meds, and they stated I needed a P.A. from Tricare now. WHAT????? After 25 years you'd think I should have known this. NO, why? Because it was something new. They wanted me to try some other insulin my doctor knew would not work on me. I tried it. It flopped. I emailed him and told him. The next day I had my Tresiba.
Folks, finding a good doctor is hard now a days, but it's worth it for your health. Find one. Dr Asamoah, if you're in the Indy area, is who you need to see if you are a diabetic. This man has been ranked in the top 10 drs in the country SO many times it's unreal.
Finally, have you all ever tried Flatout Bread??? Well, glory, try it. It's the best ever for diabetics. Nope, I'm not getting kick backs and have no ties to this company. I take NO insulin when I eat this. I'm not sure why, but I don't have to. You should try it. NO you HAVE to try it!!! Here's a link in case you don't know what I'm talking about. https://www.flatoutbread.com. Oh mercy.
It's all going great in this Afrezza Frenzy's Diabetic World. Praise God and giving Him all the glory.
Pray, test your levels, and inhale your insulin!
So did you need a PA for afrezza or for tresiba?
ReplyDeleteYes. I had been on the pump so long that my insurance company was confused LOL. I also had to take a breathing functioning test, and those results had to be sent to my insurance company.
DeleteI needed the PA for both actually but the one for Afreeza was SUPER simple. Once I tried another long acting, Tricare gave me the PA for Tresiba. It was such a hassle!
ReplyDeleteMy functional doctor just reffered me to Dr Asamoah for my thryoid resistance issues. While I do not hvae diabetes, I have insulin resistance despite good diet, weight, excercise, good fasting glucose and good A1C.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing your experiences. A good endocronologist/metabolic doc is hard to find these days. I am new to this area, so not familiar with the meical community. I am delighted to hear that my functional doctor reffered me to such a good doctor.
It's been almost 7 months....you've probably had 2 appts with him. Do you love him? He's the best. His knowledge is unreal.
