[QUOTE="amgrundy, post: 1188565, member: 256496"] Some of us have good doctors and diabetic nurses that understand, some only think that meds are best, some listen to us some don`t. The list is endless, and can stress us out with frustration when visiting these health experts ??? in my opinion we are the experts. This is my diabetic diary from being diagnosed in Jan this year, probably some of you will relate to this. 1. Jan 4th diagnosed Type 2 with a BG reading of 148 = 19.3 [ these readings didn't mean anything to me as obviously did not know anything about diabetes ] was in shock doctor prescribed Metformin 500mg 1 daily for first week then increase to 2 second week. No information off him other than see the diabetic nurse. 2. Saw diabetic nurse a week later very nice person and friendly gave me a meter and strips she said doctor wanted me to test daily, personally she herself would not have given the meter and strips ? Told me to cut down food portions eat normal in moderation :confused: weighed me and took blood pressure [ was normal ] and said she would see me in 3 months. 3. April HBA1c results down from 148 to 53 doctor dumbstruck said I was a good diabetic after trying to explain about this website being my salvation, and the LCHF diet, he didn't even answer me, and it was them that told me to join this website:confused: then he said I did not need to test every day now as I should know by now what to eat :mad: very nearly got into an argument with him but left it after saying, < but I do still need to test as there are so many combinations and other foods I still need to try and test. > he did not answer me, So I said thank you and left. :confused: 4. Saw a different diabetic nurse in May she was arrogant, she had a notebook in front of her, think all the questions she had to ask me was in the notebook. Told me I didn't need test strips anymore o_O and to loose a bit more weight I was 12st 4lbs in Jan now she weighed me 11st 2lbs. [ I was happy with this] she said I needed to loose another stone, it was the way she said it that made me mad as she needed to loose stones not pounds. I knew she was another diabetic nurse that didn't understand. So I left. 5. Now waiting for July tests :happy:and results and then back to doc and diabetic nurse. I do not get stressed with it anymore I do what I think is best and rely on all you lovely friendly and supportive people on here best thing I ever did joining this site. Well done everyone. Only we know. Now 10st 8lbs feel great.:happy::happy::happy: [/QUOTE]
