Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 It depends on what your doctor wants to do, as well as if your insurance pays. If I didn't have insurance (Medicare), I would be in debt big time with blood work. If the billing is right, you know, where it lists the costs they supposedly charge (before the your portion), a full slate of lab work can run $300-$400.

A buddy of mine said when he had got down to only using 6 units twice a day, his doc took him off the flex pen. could be this could happen to me on Friday. I'm even thinking that some of my meds that are for heart rate and blood pressure may as well need to be adjusted. I have noticed my heart rate has even dropped in the past ten days to where it had been. hard to believe that only 30 pounds would cause this, but maybe it does happen. the thing about a heart rate in the sixty's is no energy. I all most decided to skip my shot at dinner because my sugar was 85 and I was having a salad with a couple slices of cantaloupe. I will check it again at 7-30 and see where it is. I don't have the shakes, but don't feel like it is high either. I was thinking I should feel much better with more energy after exercise, losing weight and taking better care of my sugar, but actually I don't feel as good as I did last month at this same time. to crazy for me! sure is a good thing I'm going to see the diabetes specialist on Friday? just think? 3 months ago he started me out at 20 twice a day and told me in a week after he seen my readings he would ajust my dose higher to cover the higher numbers. been going down ever sense and is still going down more then when he called on the 29'th of May. Well think I will back out of here for now and maybe some of you can wake up before to morrow. don't like this list to be dead like this. makes me think you don't love me any more?
