Endocrinologist 6/10/2021

I just came back from an appointment with my endocrinologist. I was kinda dreading this appointment since my blood sugar has been hard to control since the transplant surgery. However, the meeting went pretty well, but I did have my insulin dosages increased. The morning Toujeo was increased to 13 units in the morning, and I am back on a sliding scale for the Humalog, though the scale is different than what UCLA originally prescribed. The base dosage was increased from 4 to 5 units, and I need to add more if my blood sugar is above 150.

The fructosamine test from Tuesday also came back. The endocrinologist said that my result of 401 is comparable to an A1C number of ~8.0. That is way too high and she said it also may affect my new kidney. Going forward, I need to send blood sugar readings to her every 1-2 weeks. Interestingly, they took my blood sugar meter during the appointment to dump the data. They must have a computer that can read all brand/model of meters.
