| Is this doctor trying to screw me? Or am I wrong?
I wanted to get a physical done. So I looked up a doctor on my insurance plan and went to him for one. Well it turns out that I had high blood glucose. So he wrote me another test and that too came back with high levels of sugar while fasting. So he diagnosed me as being a diabetic. He told me to get a blood glucose meter and start testing myself. Well the first thing I did was to go online to find out how many times to check myself in a day. Everywhere I went I got the impression that people check themselves 5 -6 times a day in the beginning to find out how different foods are affecting the their bodies.
So I took this information to my doctor and asked him to prescribe me testing supplies for 6 times a day of testing as my insurance would cover all of it. He says NO! He wants me to check just once a day and would only write me a prescription for 100 strips and lancets at a time. He says that I could test more but and if I run out of supplies, then to come back to him and get another prescription for a 100. He calls that a “follow up”. I off course would have to pay the co pay to him. At this pace I would have to go to him every 10 days. Is this doctor trying to screw me?  |
