Its odd,we check glucose levels before meals and bedtimes on all gastric bypass patients.
We have a patient now that before surgery had elevated numbers. When he went home something went wrong and he developed problems that has now kept him in the hospital but his sugar levels are constantly normal. And it ticks me because we are charging him 4 times a day for a service he does’nt need.

I think it is wrong to charge him for something, but on another note, it is documentation of what I say.

People said for years that the reason my sugar was down was because I couldn’t eat. It’s been five years, I can eat with the best of them now!! But my sugar still seems ok.

I think they stumbled on something with this. I really do.
