[QUOTE="Synonym, post: 143423, member: 22966"] Hello Louise :) Sorry to hear that you are still having such problems. With all the other health issues you have I am disgusted that you are being treated by your doctor and nurse in this way. :shock: You are right that those numbers are NOT good and I would say that you NOT over-reacting. Are you keeping a food diary and marking against the meals the meter readings? If not then start doing it so that you have some kind of evidence to take with you when you eventually see someone as it will help them to help you. I think I remember correctly that you eventually went to the diabetes clinic at your local hospital which is where you were given meter, strips etc. If that is so I would advise you to ring the secretary at the diabetes clinic at the hospital on the next working day and tell her about the problems you are having and ask if you can be seen there. My hospital clinic will always see me if I ring and I have elected to have my ongoing diabetic care undertaken there as my local surgery are still back in the Ark – sounds a bit like yours!! You need to be seen by an expert not someone who has little interest and perhaps drew the short straw to run the local clinic. :roll: Whether you go to the hospital diabetes clinic or your own doctor and given the problems you have, I would recommend that you take someone who cares about you with you when you go and preferably someone strong who will be there for you. For obvious reasons a witness always makes people behave better. :evil: [/QUOTE]
