[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2297353, member: 41816"] Once again I urge you to insist on a second opinion. you have already been hospitalised with DKA, where, in your own words, your life was at risk (from a previous thread). this time, I would suggest that you don’t wait as long before seeking capable professional care. You can ask for a referral to your local diabetes clinic in person, or via a phone appointment, or in writing. Or (and this is a worst case scenario), you can wait til your symptoms escalate and go to A&E, but all they will do is resolve the current crisis and return you home to your doctor’s care. That could turn into a recurring cycle. I really feel for your situation, and I know how difficult you find it to make waves and stand up to your doctor, but the quicker you act now, the sooner you can be on the appropriate treatment regime, with better blood glucose control, and a much better quality of life and less anxiety.
