What happens when you have proteinuria and Type One diabetes?
Two years ago, before I was diagnosed with type one, I was diagnosed with proteinuria. Last December, I was diagnosed with Type one diabetes. I haven't seen my kidney specialist since. But should I make an appointment? Is it possible that things are different now that I have diabetes?
Thanks!
Why do people who have diabetes have to remove their shoes and socks at doctor appointments?
I recently had a doctors appointment and their was a sign in the exam room saying that if you are a diabetic to please remove your socks and shoes. Why do diabetics have to remove their shoes and socks? I don't know much about diabetes and I am curious.
Why does this health center continue to call me?
This health center place continues to call me repeatedly each day trying to confirm an appointment that I have never made with them. I have called them and told them that I haven't made any appointments with them but they continue to contact me. What could be the reason for this? They're called the miles square health center. They are really beginning to worry me.
For anyone who has gotten birth control from a Planned Parenthood Health Center…?
(I'm a 17-year-old female)
What do I expect?
Do I call them to make an appointment?
What will I need?
I am on birth control now (Yaz because of my PMDD too) but I will be moving out of here in a few months because of personal problems. But once I leave, the insurance won't cover it anymore.
How do I do this?
What is the campus health center talking about?
Okay, here's the deal. I've been taking Depo shots for the past 9 months (or more) with a prescription from my Family Physician. I also go to an OBGYN and have gotten pap-smears from him for the past 3 years. I'm in my first year at college and am due for my shot on October 14th. I went to the campus health facility to make an appointment for my shot and the receptionist told me that they needed record of my pap smear in order to give me the shot. I had my OBGYN fax over my records of the last pap smear (which was less than a year ago; will be a year at the end of the month). The nurses said my records were outdated and that I need to get another pap smear before I get my shot. This would make sense, but they scheduled my pap smear and my shot for the same day. This means that the results of my pap smear have nothing to do with whether or not I can get my shot because you obviously have to wait for the pap results. My question is what does my pap smear have to do with getting my Depo shot? The major problem with this is that my OBGYN is over 4 hours away and there is no way I can get there or get an appointment by then, and my mother wants to keep me with the same Gynecologist. Is there a valid reason for the health center to request the pap smear?
