What a way to gain weight!

[Guest guest]

Well I have gone from 117lbs in Feb. 2002 to 164lbs as of yesterday.

This weight gain is attributed to type 2 diabetes. What a way to gain

weight! My primary care doc told me that I need to get on the South

Beach Diet. Me diet, hehehe. I have always been under weight my entire

life until now.

The past two days I have seen my endocronologist(sp) and today my

primary care doctor. I am glad I had the intuition on holding off on

get the prescription of tricor filled that was issued by my endo Dr. I

showed the prescription to my primary care doc and she not to fill it,

because the likelyhood of it will cause an acute pancreatic attack is

really high.

A little background on my primary care doc. She has had two patients

prior to me with Chronic Pancreatitis. One with pancreas divisum,

which I have. She took care of those while she was in Her residency.

She put my on Niaspan, time released niacin and kids asprin for the

side effects.

All in all when I leave Her office I feel upbeat about my situation.

She instills comfort and a positive attitude even with the long term

is not all that great.
