To say I was bemused is an understatement. By choosing not to believe the second doctor I am motivated to do everything I can to get the best long term outcome. I doubt that would have happened if I had only spoken to the second. More surprising is that the second doctor was much the younger of the two and I would have expected to be more up to date with modern trends. I am not trying to dis doctors, they do a tough job, but frankly with diabetes such a big and growing problem in society I would have thought it was a pretty high priority to be up to date on the topic.</p></blockquote><p></p>
