[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1015317, member: 196898"] Yes, weight loss can be as a result of other (non diabetic) causes that may indicate a deteriorating or serious health condition that may need swift intervention. But you has a viable reason for the weight loss, so that was ok. But it is their job to use the 5 minutes or so of the appointment to determine what your general health is, not just the diabetes. I think you would be right to be angry if they neglected to diagnose something that could have life changing consequences if discovered in ER later on, and which could have been diagnosed earlier. I do not think you have the right to be angry with them for doing their job, We have the right to disagree with their methofology, and even to refuse their medication, but by doing so we could be discharging them from their duty and remove them from all liabilities in the future. Why not try interacting sensibly with them, educate them as necessary, just like I have had to do with my care team. As a matter of interest, do you agree with your Local Representative, namely your local MP? [/QUOTE]
