He walked into the room and asked “have you been keeping any logs?”, probably expecting my usual “no not really, sorry…” but instead I produced a folder containing 2 months worth of fingerstick logs and probably about 20 pages of CGM data. He was more than a bit surprised 😏 If you read my other thread in which I was concerned about telling him about the MiaoMiao, I did not end up telling him about it. I was planning to, but we actually spent the majority of the appointment going through my graphs and trying to troubleshoot a problem I’ve been having with overnight highs. I’m not sure if he’s seen Nightscout reports before, he didn’t seem surprised by them and didn’t ask me about where they came from but it also seemed to take him a little bit to figure out what all the carb and insulin entries on the graphs were. The phrase “these are a nice set of traces” was uttered more than a few times. He also shook my hand probably 3 times, and overall he was clearly very pleased with the difference in me. He did suggest I try eating lower carb… which is valid advice to reduce my variability but I’m probably not going to follow it. I’d rather keep testing different bolus strategies and eat whatever I’d like. After all the time going through the graphs he started getting up to leave and I had to quickly bring up the pump issues again, he made sure to add the fact that I need a new pump to his notes. I also requested prescriptions for pens in case my pump actually dies before I can get the new one. He apparently was not aware that pens with 1/2 unit dosing are even a thing, because I said I wanted one and he said “it’s not really in my control, you get whatever form its in”. I said something along the lines of “I looked into it, there are a couple of different pens with 1/2 units for Humalog…” and he said “Hm, I’ll add 1/2 unit to my notes”. So I guess we’ll see what I end up with, he sends my prescriptions directly to my pharmacy. I should have just explicitly said I wanted the HumaPen Luxura HD but I was feeling a little flustered since he was clearly already late for his next appointment. I didn’t really have time to bring up the Dexcom G6 but I think at this point he would sign off on it, based on how he was so into going through all my graphs and discussing them with me. I have another appointment in 2 months (because he still wants to keep an eye on me, see if I slip back into my old ways) so hopefully by then I’ll have the new pump and I can bring forward that whole set of requests. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/first-endo-appointment-since-getting-my-act-together-finding-fud/5050)._
