[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1639173, member: 32193"] The thing that struck me was that every diabetic is different and i was told this at 3 years old and it is right, if we were all the same we would only need 1 doctor for all the UK but we are not. As i got diabetes in 1979 everything was strict have only this may carbs and this insulin, eat nothing like chocolate or coke. Now i have had my share of run ins with doctors at my local hospital, i do recall telling him that i was going to put him through the window if he would not stop wagging his finger in my face and i am not a violent person. When they send you to see someone about your diet and how much insulin you should take well they would say take that many units for that jkt pot i said no i will hypo. The final straw was when they wanted me to go on the DAFNE course to learn to carb count so i could get my insulin pump i told i new my body better than them and i had been carb counting for over 25 years and not just looked up some research, they sent me on a half day course. Then i got my pump and was doing everything the said but my BS were all over they even took me in to hospital to try and sort it but i said what good is this i am lying on the bed when i go home i won;t be. In the end after 6 months i asked my GP to refer me to Newcastle and the consultant there got it sorted in 3 weeks but he also listened to my point of view. I am pleased you have got yourself sorted but it shows that some doctors just treat you as a number. Good look with your two bikes and its not the best idea to see how many times you can fall off!!
