Message: <blockquote data-quote="steven taylor" data-source="post: 594650" data-attributes="member: 119152">Sorry this is going to be a bit of a rant.... I am a university graduate with a good degree.  I am also an actuary (which means I spend all day doing statistics and analytics) and have been controlling my diabetes relatively well for 17 years.  In short I think I know a thing or two and would really benefit from being treated consistently like a grown up at consultations... Last time I went for my 6 month consultation (type 1), there was (entirely appropriately) a medical student listening in... the consultant proceeded to spend the next half hour giving me the kiddie version and the medical student the grown up version.... In the end I just got cross and said "please just say to me what you are saying to him - I have a degree from oxford" I have zero confidence this will be remembered next time....but here's hoping.....</blockquote>
