| I have been a T2 for 2 years now. I just signed up for a D Class (3 - 2 hour sessions) at the Hospital. My PCP gave the Order for it after I insisted. He thinks that I know more just from what I learned here at DF than what the class will teach me.
HOWEVER . . . In 2 years I have had NO (ZERO, ZIP, NADA) formal training on how to live with the big D. My numbers are not in as tight of control as I want and I will do EVERYTHING I can to get them there. My insurance will pay 100% of all training so I am going to do it. My PCP has not been as responsive as I want so I have set an appointment with an Endo (who is a Diabetic himself). If a Dr. is not willing to listen to me and work with me, I will fire them in a flash.
