[QUOTE="CathytheChef, post: 709023, member: 39439"] Worst advice I ever followed was "your A1C is too high, you are allowed sweets you know" when I was 18 and had worked my a** off for years - it's like saying to a teenager "it's fine - go ahead and drink drive." They don't know how damaging they can be. My current consultant believes the way to a great A1C isn't to help your patients - it's to scare them ... If mine increases I'm "the worst diabetic I've seen" (he doesn't realise his patients talk to each other and know he says that to all of us"), last time mine dropped he congratulated himself "I must finally have scared you enough to make an effort"... He has been the subject of 2 formal complaints from me and clearly I'm not the only one - he was recently investigated but he is still the only consultant qualified in pump therapy so they won't get rid of him! :-( [/QUOTE]
