[QUOTE="mandydowns, post: 649848, member: 28669"] Hi I had an appointment with my DSN this week and it was a complete nightmare. I said how concerned I was about my weight and I understood how it was affecting my health. My daiy BS reading is around 12 pre breakfast, 17+ 2 hrs after lunch and around 17 pre bed. When I told her this she said that my readings were OK!! I couldnt speak as I was in shock at this. But what about my health I said, to which she replied 'Oh, that's only long term!' Pardon?!! I said that I felt some of my meds were not helping - I am on Metformin, Gliclazide (she said gives you hunger pains), Amitryptylline ( she said puts weight on), Victoza and statins. All she said was 'I'll see you in six months'. I am not happy to leave mny readings this high for six months - am I being unreasonable? I have depression whcih makes me question myself, but was this consultation acceptable? I left the room in tears feeling hopeless - I know every diet going and I have tried them all - lose weight but then put in back on - in one year I yoyoed from a size 10 to size 24 and have been dieting since I was 17. I am well educated and understand the link between weight and diabetes and i need help. I just think that the DSNs reaction to my readings were not all that it should have been - my Hb1ac 2 weeks ago was nearly 12 -my DSN said that this is acceptable?! Is it? [/QUOTE]
