The dr. at the hospital asked me to stay off 'til Monday. I have an appointment with my family dr. on Saturday (they will be the ones to fill out my FMLA papers).

There are diabetes classes at a somewhat local hospital the 1st Tuesday of each month (I missed it this month) covered by insurance... I will try to make the next one (since insurance covers it!).

Guess I am "lucky" in the sense that I already have an endocrinologist from when I had my parathyroid tumor. I won't have to be a new patient, but can call and get in as an already established patient. Good thing - he is difficult to get in to see.
