[QUOTE="jest, post: 213956, member: 36785"] Don't be so hard on yourself. I too afterwards wished I would have said something or would have said it differently but you are the "expert" on you! I refuse to see anyone associated with diabetic education. I will only work with my doctor and he respects my decision. A few years ago, before I was diagnosed but my husband was diagnosed, he went through a diabetic education program at the hospital. The diabetic educator would always call the house to check in with him and he didn't want to talk to her so I ended up talking to her and she told me more than once that as a wife it was my job to make sure he was eating right...***? She obviously didn't know me well...that did not go over well. One day when she called, I requested that she not call and talk to me again. The next time she called, I told her if she called one more time I would file harrassment charges on her and that for her information, it was my husband's disease that he had to take ownership for. I was there to support him and yes I made him appropriate meals, although that is not a requirement for a wife, but I wasn't putting the food in his mouth...he was. Then I proceeded to ask her if she wanted me to wipe his ### too. At that point she hung up. So, I do not have a good attitude toward any diabetic educator. [/QUOTE]
