I would just like it if a HCP made an effort to sugar coat things, just a little bit (yes I am very pleased with myself that I got to legitimately use the phrase "sugar coat" on the forum). I am well aware I'm a bad diabetic, but am also a real life person who has to leave the appointment and continue to live with it.
Examples:
Consultant Have you heard of dead in bed syndrome? Because if you carry on like this you are going to get it (yes, this is a ver batim quote that my consultant said to me, to my great shame I did not respond with "have you heard of bedside manner? Cos seriously, you should try to acquire some", no no I just cried at her instead, which is much less useful for comic value).
DSN *while scrolling through my blood sugar diary app* I can't look at your numbers anymore, they are making me too nervous.
Strangely, I'm not feeling that reassured, or supported. Boo boo
