Hi all again,
I hope you are all in good spirits and life looks good.
I just came back from a very disappointing first appointment with the diabetic nurse. She was mainly just reading from a script on her screen. :roll: She just asked if i knew about diabetes and went on with her monologue. I gave up the discussion about the advantages of self testing, she just told me how expensive the strips are. Of course i told her, i wanna be able to find out, which types of food i can or cannot eat. She just told me, i'm testing obsessive.
The funny thing is, i'm still using my own strips! I bought many of Ebay and have not even started using prescribed ones.
I was in so good spirits before i got there because my levels are now between 6-8 most of the time. Just 8 days ago they were between 25-30....
I was just expecting a little credit for my achievement. It never fails to amaze me, which power HCA (Healthcare assistants) in England are having.
Anyway, at least she gave me an appointment with a podiatrist in the surgery and booked an eye test.
She said, not my regular GP but another one will treat the diabetes in the surgery. :roll:
I told her, i felt like she couldn't get me out of the surgery fast enough. I also told her, i don't wanna go on a Desmond course and don't wanna have her help as dietician at all. This all is just getting me more down. My diet works, thanks to you all i found a way, i could get my levels down quickly. Otherwise they would still be sky rocketing.
Can anyone understand this please?
Irene
