Complaints welcome

I thought that the diabetes wouldn't be so difficult to take care of. Apparently an endocrinologist wasn't consulted until last night when they asked me about calling my doctor. He said he was happy to help and offered some advice. I don't know why they didn't think to involve him or someone like him until now. Granted, my blood sugars are still out of range. But they just kept asking me what to do, and I have no experience with steroids - how am I supposed to know what will happen?? And, I just had surgery.

Additionally, I am barely eating, so I really don't think my diet is affecting my blood sugars, as someone noted in passing. Thanks for your opinion...(blank stare).

I'm closer to the low end of the mg range of the steroid, Decadron, now, so that's good. You can't stop it cold turkey though, so I have to finish the however many days of it there are. I'm burning through insulin like water and hardly making a dent. Very strange feeling, as I'm usually very sensitive to insulin.

Had I realized that this was going to be more of an issue, I may have tried to get more plans in place beforehand for the management of the diabetes, but it sounded like they knew what to do. Turns out all they did was ask a bunch of PAs what they thought and then left it up to me. If there was a treatment technique for AN removal/control that didn't involve steriods, I would totally do that, but I think it's pretty unavoidable. I hope I never have to go back on them again for the rest of my life.
