Excuse me here please! feel the need to rant!
I went into this woman, who had looked like she was in a foul mood! i felt so naughty the minute i arrived!
she asked me what my problem was! So i kindly explained to her that i have been suffering with what could be explained as pins and needles in my right foot! She then said i see from your Gp that you are a type 2 diabetic!
I said yes just recently found out! She said you also have seizures! Why do you suffer seizures! I simply answered that it is my brains way of cutting out stress and anxiety!
She said never heard of such a thing! I said well my neurolgist has and i am under him and i think 30 years in the feild of the brain he knows what he is doing!
She then asked me why i have diabetes?, I said i don't know one of those things i suppose!
Then she went on about that she has been in the field for 3 years now! What shoe size are you she asked! I answered large! Then explained size 9 width at EEE. and high instep!
she then informed me that i am wearing the wrong sort of shoes and stop wearing high heel's!
I then gently informed her that i am overweight and i don't wear heels as i have weak ankles! And the one time i tried aged 14 years i broke both of my ankles when my ankles gave way! Lesson learnt there!
She then said maybe you should wear flat shoes, hello that is what i am wearing now! Maybe trainers, i said unless you have not noticed my feet are swollen up! They always swell after i have been walking for a little bit or hot weather!
Oh as i already knew i have weak ankles! also she said it seems to her that i have poor reflex in my right foot! I thought someone get me out of here!
then she asked me what diet if any am i on! i answered I am on low carb! She turned around to me and her voice changed as she said low carb is dangerous to a diabetic! You should be high carb! At this point i thought that i wanted to rip her head off!
i am not changing my diet! She then said well on your head then! Low carbing will kill you! I turned around and said well my Gp and diabetic nurse both agree that it is a good step to take, Then added well high carb would kill me quicker! Maybe you should low carb atry or there again it might kill you quick! I thought i wish!!She didnot come back from that! I felt like sticking my tongue out at her! OH honestly some people
I walked out of there, she said can you come back in 3 weeks! Where you can see someone who has been in the field longer than her!
Sorry for the rant!
Just could not beleive her!
