[QUOTE="czj, post: 382935, member: 62497"] Hi. I know how you feel. I have been T1 for 44 years, and am fed up with (some) Drs who have no understanding. Things can improve for you, so stick in there. Some recent examples of Drs sticking to a script? I have proliferative retinopathy in one eye, and when I saw a young Dr two years ago, he said "now, try and keep your blood sugars in range". He looked really flustered when I said "You know, both my eyes have been diabetic for 42 years, don't you think you are missing something?" Then I moved house and got a new GP. He started on the "Asprin bad, statin good" script, saying we were in it for the long term. No, I said, the long term was when I was diagnosed in 1969... So they all fall back on a script then they have nothing to add. You do know best, but it does get wearing trying to make your own way through this maze. I am sorry to hear you are running out of hope. I haven't but neither would I like to live forever. PS on a practical note I recently got my hypo warnings back earlier, through changing insulins, Lantus to Insulatard I hope things get easier for you [/QUOTE]
