I went to go thru a ct scan today . They did not understand I have a low blood sugar problem The test I couldnt do any ways it was npo for 4 hrs. I told the doctor I cant she told me I could according to her. Now they have to look at other tests to see if it has spread or not . I be calling her in the morning to see what going to be next .

    Hopefully they can find something else that won't cause you problems.

    Hi,

    I always go to the radiology department and ask to speak to the head of the department. I tell them my predicament and together we find a solution. I have always found them very good in adjusting to your needs. Don't waste your time with the schedulers or technicians. They mean well but, they are not the people that can make the changes to help meet your needs.


    Good luck with your scan.

    Best,

    Doris
