EveryCloud, you are a wise person in choosing to follow this strategy
I have the same strategy - I have made a pact with my doctor (one-sided though, as he doesn't know about this pact
- nor need to be told ...).
It is that "
I will myself take full responsibility for my diet and control of my diabetes -
he on the other hand will take care of the occasional blood tests and give his suggestions about how to interpret the results".
And even sometimes when I get a bit in doubt about his interpretations or conclusions, there may be old-time and very knowledgeable posters on forums such as this, who will give me some pointers.
