[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2494161, member: 420515"] You're on insulin, so you should be being seen by a hospital diabetes clinic. If your doctor is a registrar, you can ask to be seen by a different registrar or consultant. Unfortunately, the person you would ask to see somebody else is the doctor who is already being obstructive. You are not alone, I react badly (like you) to Lantus and Levemir, and like you my doctor liked my blood glucose levels and didn't want to change. We went through various antihistamines until I got fed up and refused to take basal insulin. Then she took me seriously and tried to fix the problem. If I was in your place, I'd fix a phrase in my mind 'I want to change my insulin' for example. Next time you see the doctor, every time he says something not related to changing insulin, repeat 'I want to change my insulin'. It's juvenile and highly irritating (you run the risk of p'o the doctor for good), but it shows you're determined. That's the best I can think of. [/QUOTE]
