[QUOTE="Sanober, post: 311364, member: 33171"] It was awful Smidge, I ended up fighting back tears afterwards and cried in my car. His approach was just weird asking questions but not listening to me, I don't even know why I bothered going. He did mention I may be a contender for the pump which can be fine tuned better than adjusting Lantus but didn't go any further. He also remarked that my morning readings were very tight and really I shouldn't be trying to get tight numbers at this early stage (confused? Me too). I told him it's not a numbers game really but I feel genuinely ill if I go above 8 and feel horrendous beyond 10/11s... he thought this was unusual. I also queried the lack of hypo symptoms and he questioned that this happens to people who have D for years (so he didn't believe me...?) But the fact he suggested 3-4 wasn't really a hypo, I pointed out I was able to test so frequently so was catching them, he also scrutinised why I was testing 12-14 times a day. I said it wasn't for fun and to be honest I can test anywhere between 4-10 times a day normally. He's booked me for a follow up on 17th Dec (as my last appointment was overdue 3mths...I should be getting follow ups at the D clinic every 6mths apparently) taking hubby who is ready to punch the next Endo!
