Thank you again, Sue!

I’m sorry to say I was distracted at the PCP visit from asking about a referral to an endocrinologist because the PCP advised a consult with a nephrologist because my husband’s calcium was high (10.7). However his eGFR is 75. Initial test has ruled out a parathyroid problem and some cancers so next test is parathyroid hormone related peptide test, 24-hour urine, Vitamin D toxicity, and some others. The nephrologist also told him to stop taking Vitamin D (2000 IU daily).
The good news from the MRI is that the cyst has only shown tiny (1mm) growth so another MRI and check in 6 months.
We are making progress with blood sugar levels and PCP has raised the Trulicity dosage. We have discovered that the CGM indeed jumps about 30 points after a shower .. with zero food intake after being suspicious about the breakfast I was making. 😉 Also CGM warns about excessive Vitamin C leading to higher readings. The culprit here was AREDS2, prescribed for Wet AMD and while the opthamologist (Retina specialist) said it would be ok to stop, he has reduced dosage to one per day instead of two. Sadly the Lucentis injections have not helped the Wet AMD so perhaps a different injection series this week if insurance approves.
It does really feel like a tightrope balancing act with food, meds, and doing something that causes an unexpected result.
