- The puzzle that is Asperger syndrome that I still can't fit together.
I'm too angry to type much but I thought I'd do a quick summary of my appointment with the practice "Nurse"
1.She was absolutely LIVID that I dare test my blood at home after her explicitely telling me not to do so AND my GP was wrong to give me a meter and 50 strips.
2.My constant readings varying between 18 and 33mmol/l are low readings and NORMAL for type 2 and I needn't ever worry about dropping to single figures because no-one ever achieves this and if they do "They probably weren't diabetic in the first place"
3.Metformin is the BEST drug on the market and will control my bloods properly but it takes at least a year to work according to her.
4.After telling her about my headaches,chronic tiredness,vision problems,constant thirst and peeing she informs me "Oh well,you'll have to see your GP,you're OBVIOUSLY ill with another condition and will need other tests as the symptoms you just told me AREN'T consistent with Diabetes"
5.I must STOP using forums like this for advice as they are Dangerous!! in her words...
6......Well,with my chin having dropped to the floor and her getting more and more angry with me defending myself with facts I walked out completely numb!! :x
I've never heard so much **** in my life,how on earth is she qualified to work with diabetics(Or anyone else with a long term illness) is beyond me!!!
I'm supposed to have major surgery around easter time but with 'Nurse Death' being the only one at my surgery who holds clinic there's NO way I'll be controlled enough by then!!
