I really need to vent. My endocrinologist (diabetes doctor) has totally fucked me over. I’ve been trying since the beginning of July to get a refil on my long acting insulin (I have to be on a specific kind as I’m allergic to lantus and levimer barely works). So I was calling and sending messages through MyChart to them and I was getting nowhere. So finally around July 27th, my doc says “oh I sent that in on July 12th” which no the duck she didn’t. My pharmacies (I have two), never received a prescription from her. So I ended up in DKA (diabetic keto acidosis) and had to stay in the hospital from august 4th to the 5th. So guess what? I need a prior auth from my insurance. I’ve been on tresiba since 2016/17. And so, endo put me on levimer for the time being. But since it doesn’t really work for me, I ended up in DKA AGAIN. Literally a week later. So I was back in the hospital and they change how to take the levimer, but this is so stupid. I’m so upset.

      I’ve had issues with my endocrinologist too. I’ve been in DKA 8 times in the last two years. I’ve been a diabetic for 15 years and have been trying to get the pump/CGM as long as I can remember but he’s been no help at all. My twin has Graves’ disease and got her thyroid removed back in 2016. My doctor hasn’t refilled her levothyroxine and her appointments consist of him telling her she’s overweight…which is because she doesn’t have her synthroid. He’s completely useless and I completely understand your frustration. I’m sorry you’re going through that

        @Diabadass god that’s terrible. I’ve been in DKA like 12 times in ten years. It’s the fricken worst. 🙄🙄
