Thanks, Windyshores!

I don't have a meter. Are they by prescription? (I am a complete ! newbie)

I'll keep the endocrinologist in mind.

Thanks, again!

Another thing to consider is hypothyroidism.

@annewoodmayo you can just buy meters over the counter. Test strips, alcohol swabs and lancets for pricking are also needed. You can certainly get a prescription if it saves money. The meters themselves are not expensive.

Absolutely an endocrinologist. They often have a wait for an appt. so maybe call next week!
