[QUOTE="Rudyard, post: 990014, member: 79464"] I want to be treated like I'm NOT a problem... Even by a Doctor who is supposed to be the practice expert. I know the dangers of high bg levels and need help in bringing them down - NOT "You're at an age where you'll suffer an episode. I've seen it happen" I would go more often if I wasn't so bloody scared of sitting down with him. I'd also like more than about 7 minutes time in the room... Where I don't feel rushed to get kicked out and where I feel I can ask questions, maybe see about other treatments. I DO want to be a well controlled diabetic, I am TRYING to lose weight, take more exercise, and I DO eat healthily (I cook from scratch most days - I'm hitting the low carb trail with a vengeance, too... BUT I need someone who I at least feel is sympathetic to me... Please, please, please... we want to be listened to and helped, not prescribed to - Low BG and lower BP are my targets too! [/QUOTE]
