Dislikes

Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.

You can minimise the amount of inhaled steroid you need to manage asthma by using a spacer device. This will direct more of the drug into your lungs, instead of spraying it onto the roof of your mouth.

What reason did they give for stopping your insulin?

If the only way to get your sugars under 8.5 most of the time is to use insulin, then you might want to see them again and discuss it. I wouldn't feel comfortable seeing my levels above 8.5 for very long.
