Think "princess and the pea". Has Alan ever had a 5 hour GTT? Just because he wasn't diabetic last year, doesn't mean he can't be this year.
Good luck

They have given him various diabetic tests. He just got blood tests results back two days ago. His fasting blood sugar is 80. It NEVER goes above that.
We even filled him with sugar once (to see if it could register above 120). It went to 100.
So no, he's not a diabetic.
I hope whatever dressing they use, works, and that's it covered because his insurance WOULD NOT COVER CUSTOM SHOES OR OTHOTICS.
Nasty people these insurance people.
And I am very careful to not have the dressing that I put on, fill in the hole in his foot. Very careful.
Thanks much
