This is the one about my blood-sugar.
I’m really high right now.
The normal blood-glucose level should be between 70 and 150 mg/dl. Since moving to Arizona (and relinquishing my health insurance) I’ve had trouble getting below 200 mg/dl. 2 weeks ago I tested over 300 three days in a row, so I decided to fork out the aspartame-sweetened dough and go visit a doctor.
Have you paid cash for a visit to the doctors? Shit. Have you paid cash for prescription drugs? Fuck.
I love this country, but our health care system leaves much to be desired.
Anyway the doctor doubled my metformin prescription, and added 20mg of glipizide to my daily regimen. I’m praying (even though I’m an atheist) that oral medications will do the trick. I’m not really looking forward to insulin injections.
Has anyone had any luck with Metformin or Glipizide?

Paying cash does suck ass. I’m sorry to hear that you’re not covered. Yes, the health insurance in this country isn’t all that great. I’m on the verge of not being covered too.
