[QUOTE="Cloudlesssky, post: 713786, member: 130484"] [SIZE=4][I]I am completely in agreement about testing to find out what makes me "spike" - as yet I have no clear picture, although I am better informed than I was. It has been really helpful, for example, to learn the reason why I should eat protein with carbs, that is information I've only found out on here.[/I] [I]I don't know if others feel this, but I almost wonder if the medical profession is content for me to "do better" but not necessarily to "be really well". Does that make sense? I'm not bitter and twisted (honest!) but I wonder if they were diagnosed with diabetes, if they would be content to take their own advice, or would they also want to try to attain the very best outcome for themselves?[/I] [I]Yes, I am sure that my lifestyle and previous bad/ignorant choices have contributed to my now having diabetes. Yes, I fully accept that I have to take responsibility for my own health and improving my habits. I wish I had done so before.[/I] [I]However, what I was told today, alongside the things other forum members report having been told by their medical professionals, makes me wonder if there is almost a negligence in the way many people with diabetes are treated and informed.
