[QUOTE="nopudanymore, post: 195760, member: 24534"] I spend a large proportion of my time abroad, so was surprised to return home to a letter from my surgery's Diabetic nurse accusing me of not attending for an appointment (which had been made in my absence) In this (very haranguing) letter, she also mentioned that I missed an opportunity for her to support me in my 'very poor diabetes control'. I have therefore come to know that I am considered to have poor control by this roundabout method. And here I was, patting myself on the back. My last HbA1c was 7.5, which was down from the 9.4 previous result. I feel very depressed about all of this, particularly as I feel that from all directions I am receiving the 'message' that somehow just being a diabetic is my own fault; my 'poor control' is evidently a result of my ineptitude, despite the very many changes I have made to my diet (I'm low carbing) and exercise levels, and my inability to lose weight (I've been around the same weight for more than 20 years). I feel totally unsupported by the medical profession and am being made to feel guilty for having this condition. Do others feel this? How do they deal with it? HbA1c 7.5 glucophage 500 mg thyroxine 150 mg [/QUOTE]
