Pharmacist is not a Doctor and most Doctors aren’t diabetic specialists, I would treat anything he said with a pinch of salt.
I would like to make a doctor a diabetic, just for a day, so they can learn what it’s like and realise that they not only need to educate themselves but to educate others. There are too many "opinions" or "theories". On occasions my pharmacist has asked me questions about people’s usage of various items but has never offered me advice other than being supportive, such as when my prescription for strips was change randomly, this is the way it should be.
That patient surly is on a dose of insulin specified by the doctor and has another appointment to adjust the dose, thus the 5 times a day. I wish my doctor would take an active interest in my insulin regime; alas I have more chance of that double-decker bus finishing me off.
