Excellent!
You too.
I won’t post my fbg as been on a night shift. So will do later.
Just a quick update on speaking to the doctor, as mentioned in conversation yesterday.
Spoke to the doctor in my surgery who’s specialist interest is in diabetes and from the off it was clear they had me down as a time waster, they were very brash, rude and we ended up actually arguing for a bit, had a bit of a dust up! They said that I need educating on diabetes because it was categorically useless to be taking finger prick tests as it is not needed and that diabetes is all about eating and to stop eating so much (might have a point in there somewhere but lol) and that the information I’m getting to be taking my sugars is worthless... all I need to do is eat sensible, shut up and keep taking the tablets, then get a blood test in 3 months. The actual.words.used. looooool.
Despite my protestations and mentioning the dietician thought it was a great idea to get an idea of what I'm doing, and how it helped before, the conversation was going nowhere. I mean even if that’s their 'informed' opinion, which they are entitled to I guess, however I might question it, the bedside manner was amazing. Was like speaking to basil fawlty. I’m glad I’m not a sensitive type, and prefer bluntness and honesty on the whole if the message is sound, I found it quite funny though, I know I shouldn't cause some people would or maybe have walked away crying from a conversation like that.
Guess they could have been having a bad day, and I have to consider that I am possibly wasting their time. What a way to speak to your patients though, makes you wonder why some people would be put off.
Low carb was the answer for me before so I think I already know the question.
