2 weeks yesterday since my appt with a rude, unprofessional, ill informed "diabetes specialist" doctor at my surgery. Have spent the time since angry, upset & totally off the wall. Gone from wanting to kill the doctor to wanting to kill myself. I stopped taking all my meds (met, glic & simva) then. Only testing when I was driving, (never under double figures, when they are usually 5ish), still eating my "normal" lower carbs diet though. Not being able to test how I usually do has sent my OCD into overdrive. OH now can't find anything in kitchen, he can't see the logic of having the Weetabix next to the window cleaner lol.
Today I've made the decision to go back on my meds, (I obviously need them) & say stuff the doctor, it's MY diabetes & I'm going to control it, beat it into submission & win.
I'm concerned though about my hypos. The doctor will only give me 50 strips a month which will only cover my driving. Should I increase my carbs or lower my glic (40 am 80 pm).
In a quandry, any help appeciated.
Thanks for reading this ramble, rant, plea.
