[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 109978, member: 20775"] Good grief. Last time I had a Dr talk to me like that I walked out and demanded to see another Dr citing zero confidence in his ability to safely and appropriately treat me. Ok it wasnt for diabetes but it was for a long running thyroid condition and he had just explained something called block replacement therapy. I would have been a terrible candidate for about a dozen reasons not least of which was that my anti thyroid drugs had already knocked my liver out of balance. Needless to say these days I treat Dr's like any over tradesman and they have to earn my trust and I challenge them on everything so that they have to explain and justify their decisions. This has led to some friction but the end result has been that I refuse to see those Dr's that wont work with me. The thing I have learned very quickly since being diagnosed in April is that it is a medical team. The Dr is one small part and needs to pay attention like the rest of us. I think this arogant prat needs putting in his place since you cannot talk to someone like that especially when you are making progress. Let us know how you get on the and ask to see someone else next time :) Good luck A [/QUOTE]
