With my PCP appointment last week, I finally got around to uploading my Ping and Dexcom to Diasend. Took some info with me to the appointment and let my Endo know that I’d done it.
The PCP appointment was great. All lab results are fine. A1c was up a tiny, tiny bit but her’s always reads a tiny, tiny bit above the Endo’s test. I’m not worrying about it. Did the foot check, had lost 2 pounds and BP was fine.
Later that day I received the nicest note from my Endo. (Oh, I have to send my messages to her through the Dartmouth-Hitchcock site – and noticed I could attach a jpg, so I sent her a photo. I’ve only had two appointments with her so… thought it might help.)
You always make me smile.
I really enjoy hearing from you.
I was able to view your ping upload – but not your Dexcom – I wonder why ???
However just based on the fact that you check quite often and very well – I think you have maintained a pretty steady blood sugar range (when you behave!!!!)
There are occasions when you do go high – but I am sure you figured this out yourself – there is no consistent pattern.
I would not recommend any changes.
I am glad you like the Dexcom. I think it is the best out there.
Lastly – you look beautiful in the picture.
Happy new year.
Please let me know if you need any refills – will be more than happy to help you.
Take good care….
Yup – she’s a keeper!
Back to the title. I need to upload the Ping stuff more often and look at it. It’s really simple to do, well – sort of… I have to unplug a printer usb from the front of the computer and then shove in the Ping usb. The computer is under a table next to the desk so it involves getting on the floor and if it’s night, I have to shine a light on the computer to see the stupid usb thing. But – as a friend says, “You Can Do This“
I also need to get back on the treadmill. I may have to dust it off, first…
And finally – a photo of the fam.






Yes, she sounds like a very nice endo! Don’t even want to call her an “endork”! I especially liked the “when you behave” comment – we all need to have some fun once in awhile!
Sounds like a great doctor, and yay on you for the great reports! Beautiful family you’ve got there.
Your endo does sound great! I love that reports can be sent electronically and comments back from the dr. can be so quick.
What a great encouraging note from your endo! I get similar ones from my doc and CDE. That makes SUCH a difference and really makes me want to keep doing better. And I LOVE the new G4.
I also find uploading really helpful. I need to see the big picture, rather than obsessing on the short term highs or lows. Keep up the good work
And enjoy the praise!
