Hi,

My name is Terri. I am 35 year old female. I had my routine

bloodwork done last week and after fasting for 12 hours, my glucose

was 105. I was insulin resistant before having gastric bypass surgery

in 2003. They thought the surgery had taken care of my blood sugar

but obviously it has not. I can't take that test where you drink the

glucose and then they test you every hour for three hours because of

my bypass. My doctor is prescribing a blood glucose monitoring

machine and I will pick it up at the pharmacy tonight. I have to take

my glucose level every morning for 3 weeks and keep a record of it so

my doctor can look at the trend and take the approperiate action. I

am hoping Blue Cross covers the monitor and supplies. If I end up

having to use this stuff for life, have any of you used Liberty

Medical? I see commercials for them all the time.

Best regards,

Terri
