Oh that is good!!!

So many people, myself included, are told by doctors we are fine due to A1c or fasting. We are so disillusioned by doctors believing they are gods.

I remind myself before every doctor appointment, I am the only one in that room that cares the most about MY health. He works for me. :)

Numbness and tingling occur with
The lows in blood sugar. The nerves
Are starving then. Reactive hypoglycemia
Comes as a pre-diabetic state and is
Called insulin resistance also.

Making some small dietary adjustments
often helps many with PN symptoms and
Can help prevent permanent damage.

In Feb 2012, i had a 2-hour glucose test and my number on the 2nd hour was 72. MrsD said that I may not be considered as a reactive hypoglycemic yet but she explained that reactive hypos can be on its way to being pre-diabetic. I have always been on the skinny side, so i thought i was safe (with no family history to back me up) but just one year after, my BG is elevated enough to be considered as pre-diabetic. Mrs. D hits it on the spot!!!

Well, please "predict" that my PN will get better. If that happens, i will come see you a give you my personal hug :hug: :)

So, if... "on its way to being pre-diabetic" is "pre-pre-diabetic",
would "not considered reactive hypoglycemic yet" be "pre-pre-pre-diabetic"??? :Hum: :D

I highly recommend finding out about their appeal procedures. If you have your insurance through an employer, you can also ask the insurance broker how to appeal. One time, an insurance broker went to bat for me with the insurance company and got something approved that had previously been denied. You might also call a few compounding pharmacies in your area to get a quote for the medication and see what it would cost out-of-pocket. If you find it does help, that may be useful in writing an appeal.

I hate that dealing with crap from insurance companies comes at times when I least feel like dealing with it.
