[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1764302, member: 429870"] Reading your story I am very sympathetic but not surprised. Your experiences have been SO frustrating and upsetting, but sadly I have read many similar accounts on these forums. I do think that what you have fallen foul of is however more cockup than conspiracy. And once things have gone wrong, health professionals often feel it is their duty to try and cover up their colleagues' mistakes. I have had this happen to me and it was indeed very upsetting. Like you, I imagine, I felt helpless and betrayed. I decided it was best not to insist on the "truth", and my subsequent treatment was good and helpful. I can understand that you now feel mistrustful. IMO the best way forward is to assume that the doctors do mainly wish you well but are fallible, often ignorant, and working in an imperfect system. We can best cope with this by becoming our own experts and checking checking checking everything we are told and every treatment proposed. On these forums we can help each other with that, but also I strongly advise reading up on LADA / diabetes 1.5 eg on this site: [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/18382053.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
