Hi,
The only nurse practitioner I have seen specialised in diabetes. She instructed me to stop doing my daily glucoes checks! Go figure.
Problem is that my Ha1 whatever doesn't correlate to the 15 to 20 glucoes range I have been in for years, my hyperglycemic state and the stage 2 neruopathy I'm experiencing. Problem is it is so easy to blame the patient and shrug the shoulders with I have done all I can, it is psycological. Don't get me wrong there are some good medical practitioners, but all the good ones have left my surgery. I moved to a retirement center mid last year and am breaking in yet another Dr. So far I have had to refute the BS idea it's in my head and have to take my wife with me who can give an independant veiw of how medication is seriously effecting me. Fortunately I can see it now before I become violent, yet again and will stop taking the medication causing issues. Hence I'm human but outside "normal" yet test results prove nothing. I know of 2 others world wide who have the same issues with diabetic medication, small comfort knowing it is not just me or my mind!
I'm starting to question the T2 label as no matter how little I eat I'm still over glucoes level 8 in the mornings and don't experience the morning bump some get. I have never been below unless medicated, I seem to produce an abundance of glucose regardless of diet or conditions. I'm certainly not eating it as I'm struggling with starving and the effects on the body. I do follow a diabetic diet and even documented everything I ate or drank for a month to prove it to one Dr.
Anyway information is power, find out all you can to be well informed and don't let Dr's mitigate your health without your input.
Cheers
