[QUOTE="PseudoBob77, post: 1000026, member: 198770"] I tell you what something rang true when i saw my GP as a young teenager, i came out of the surgery depressed after seeing him. I had the run down on a few ocassions of the damage it would do to all of my organs. I think it was his kind of hard approach that has made me in the long run keep relatively good control, and no complications to date after 27 years. She's not unsual in terms of drinking, partying, smoking. Been there, done that, but i still respected my condition. I might of had a few hypos and thrown up when drinking 10 pints of beer and liquor shots, but that is far preferrable to blindness and kidney disease. I mean you still gotta be careful of hypos as they'll give you a heart attack during the night if not carefully gauging things. Your doctors have a certain responsibility to you, but from my experience it is very hard to thoroughly educate people with diabetes in a 15 minute meeting with the doc. I'm 99% responsible for my health not the doc. So we must respect our body because that is our temple. [/QUOTE]
