[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 299230, member: 13582"] Swimmer; this is the world we live in. Don't be disheartened when people behave the way we expect them to behave. Always go to the appointments so that you get your bloods done so that you can monitor your successes. You just have to develop the ability to nod and say 'ok' when they say stupid things. The mighty Fergus was told by his consultant that he no longer had diabetes when he got his HbA1c below 5.0 (as I remember). Take a stand where necessary; testing, refusing statins (should you wish to) and so on, but pick your fights otherwise you'll get worn down. Politely decline dietician appointments but always make sure you know what the full array of blood tests are. If you always gave people the same directions to your house and people always got lost you'd have to be pretty thick to not eventually realise your directions were wrong. Not here though; all those diabetics develop complications even though we have told them how to manage things. Except for those non compliant ones who ignore our advice. But they're obviously not proper diabetics because they don't have complications... Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
