My Medical Dr Said She Would Not Fill Out The Paper Work

My dr said she would not fill out the paper work need for my insur to pay for my surgery till my blood sugar is under controll. I can't lose any weight or I will not qualify for my surgery. Have done my 6 month nutrition and evaluation. ???? Help. Have an appointment tomorrow. Any advice.

May I ask why ur blood sugar is high? I have type one diabetes and I know if my sugar isn't under control then it will take longer for me to heal my wounds and incisions.

Type 2. Reason being over weight.

Have you been walking to try to regulate it? I know that helps me

[Lucabelle1313 36]

No. I didn't know that helped but I will try. It went from mild to crazy out of control in three months. I was shocked when my results came back. I ate 1/2 cup ff cottage cheese one hour later reading was 233. ??? Breakfast one egg, one egg white. Small piece watermelon. lunch tuna, snack was the cottage cheese??? Yogurt has 32g carbohydrates.??

Sorry to hear that. I know a lot of things have a lot if carbs and sugars and it sucks. My a1c has dropped and I'm taking less insulin now. I get my carbs from simple carbs like veggies and brown rice or quinoa. I can't eat fruit be ause my sugar will get too high. I just have to stay strong and positive. Try not to think about it too much and watch ur carbs

What kind of meds are you on? You may need to adjust them to get this under control. Do you know what your A1C is? If it is high you will need to get it under control. Very important for healing as Sweetsusie said.

You need to check your blood sugar two hours after eating, that is where you should be seeing it at regular levels.Fat free doesn't mean sugar free, it amazes me hos something that is good for you can have sugar in it but it does.

You know, I hadnt had my primary Dr for very long before seeing my weight loss surgeon, and I was afraid that she might not sign off on my surgery. I asked my surgeon about it, and he said that your weight causes so many health problems and risks when you are morbidly obese, that if your primary care Dr doesnt sign off, then it might be time to rethink that choice. Luckily, she did and I was able to get it paid for by my insurance, but I cant understand why your Dr wouldnt want you to be as healthy as you can be. Good luck!
