[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1077387, member: 265172"] Hi [USER=269410]@Meghalton[/USER] , sorry you're feeling low. I can reassure you on one point - and I'm hoping you'll feel empowered - yes you almost certainly DO know more about your diabetes than they do. I'm not casting aspersions on your diabetes teams' qualifications, training or experience in the field, but as a first-hand all-day-every-day person with diabetes you know and feel things about diabetes that they have no first-hand experience of. It's upsetting though that you're not getting the support you need - that's not how these things should work. Maybe as [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] suggests you could have a chat with a DSN, and voice your concerns. Living with diabetes is what I'd consider a team effort (I count my husband, family, my DSN and the Accucheck helpline staff as core members of my team!) and it sounds as if the doctors and nurses you see for your diabetes perhaps need to be more considerate members of yours! :) [/QUOTE]
