I have seen him 3 times and he keeps telling me to quit drinking - only trouble there is that I am, and have been a teetotaller for many years...I hate alcohol, it makes me feel really sick - even a sip or two.
| The reason is that he thinks that you're are drinking alcohol as this lowers the BG level and that is why he thinks that you are drinking. I would look into getting that referral Pix, Even it means an observation in hospital.  |
