[QUOTE="Peanut234, post: 2699969, member: 582739"] I had an appointment with a different diabetes nurse yesterday. Thankfully this one will be my usual, the other one was just covering. She said yes, pain will increase BG, as well as the actual inflammation too which I have (seen on scans) which I had not thought of. It's just so refreshing to see someone who knows their stuff. Lots of questions and then, 'We're going to adjust this, and tweak that and if that doesn't work we will adjust this... ' A quiet reminder that it actually might take quite a bit of insulin to blood sugar under control and that it it is that the specific circumstances I am in, and don't stress if that happens, its just that we are in a holding pattern until I have the surgery. I was asking if she had enough time, and she said I made your appointment extra long as I knew we would need extra time, and you are the last one for the day too... Any questions just get in touch, would you like another appt on this date, no hassle, nothing an inconvenience, no sighing because I am not a simple case. Knowledgable support, kindness, thoughtfulness. If only all appointments for diabetes, and for all healthcare were like that. [/QUOTE]
