[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1452507, member: 355878"] You do get used to it. It takes time though. I have an eye test in a few days - 6 months after the original blood test which diagnosed my diabetes. I was told that I had to organise it, at first, then that local opticians were no longer doing them and it was a hospital visit, but this appointment is for an optician just along the road from me - ho hum. It is perhaps a better option than I have had from time to time where the doctor is ultra motivated to get you under control. I had a bad experience when pregnant with my second child, was threatened with hospital and 'being fed properly' if I kept on eating low carb foods. I stuck to the diet sheet and in three weeks was seriously ill with pre eclampsia - all the fault of the low carbing, I was told. Luckily there wasn't a bed available, so I was allowed to go home with strict instructions to follow the diet - but I went back to low carb and had a miraculous recovery - all down to their insistence on proper healthy foods, of course.
