[QUOTE="RAPS_od, post: 2540898, member: 132477"] I worked in a call center, answering phones and typing on the computer all day. When I started developing problems in my wrists, I was referred to a work-related medical center. They sent me to have a nerve conduction test. The "doctor" who administered the test, told me didn't have carpal tunnel like everyone else in my office, but it was because I was diabetic. The dum-dum also told me I probably had neuropathy in my hands as well, and that he could tell by looking at me that I didn't take care of myself, that I probably ate candy and doughnuts all the time. I was so angry I went back to the main office and read them the riot act. I showed them my BG testing and last A1C results - all perfectly within range - and told them if ANYONE could LOOK at someone and say they knew what their BG was it would be another diabetic, not some bigoted test administrator. (And another diabetic couldn't tell either!) [/QUOTE]
