Health update part 2 So now with the history, labs and 2 weeks of the continuous blood sugar monitor results, my specialist in Utah who is a nurse practitioner who also has her PhD in nutrition, and was a diabetes educator before opening her clinic (basically crazy credentials), she is pretty positive I've got an insulinoma.  So she and my dmba nurse case manager have been doing everything they could, speaking to each other, making tons of calls, to get me in as soon as possible with the right specialist.  Thursday morning- about the time I'm falling down the stairs, the above mentioned nurse case manager Jill, emailed me and told me that I can't go on vacation because my health problems are too dangerous to go anywhere without a pancreas workup for that insulinoma.
