[QUOTE="NoKindOfSusie, post: 1659103, member: 441787"] I am starting to conclude that this is basically normal. I ended up barely on speaking terms with the first woman I saw because her entire approach was based on telling me everything was okay, even when it was LITERALLY WRITTEN ON THE PIECE OF PAPER IN FRONT OF HER that my result as not under the limit it should have been. All I want to know is what numbers are good and what numbers aren't but there doesn't seem to be an answer even to that, let alone how to achieve it. I can't take the uncertainty but what I really can't take is the "pat everyone on the head and tell them it's wonderful." I am one of her thousands of patients, I get that she goes home and stops worrying about it, I get that she doesn't, in any real sense, personally care or have any investment in whether I live or die, but I would rather have honesty. Oh, and yeah, I assume it is still possible for a diabetic to starve to death... [/QUOTE]
