People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
First off it depends whether you are a T2 or a T1.. Or whether you take any drugs that can induce a hypo.
I had a GP in Glanamman in South Wales that thought 1strip a day was enough for a T1!!!
I went to consultant who wrote a letter stating the qty I should have.
Since moving back to England then my DSN's are happy to prescribe anything I need to keep me well.
Some of this is dependent on the attitude I adopt when talking to professionals though. .. If I demand I get a negative attitude.. If I reason nicely and positively it makes a world of difference....
