Hi Jo,
Maybe it has been a while since the older diabetic members receied a diagnosis. What a horrible way to be treated. If it were me, I'd fire the doctor, and Kaiser. My initial diabetic doc was a staff doc at the hospital. The nurses and doctor made dog gone sure that I knew how to test, and do the shots. I had two 45 minute sessions with the nutritionist in my hospital room. I had to read two books, and watch 5 videos. That is what you need.
You may be stuck with KP, I don't know, but the service that you have received is in need of drastic improvement. If you can, go to any physicians office that handles diabetic patients. Get a GOOD BOOK about diet and food prep. You can find what you need there. Don't cheat yourself. Here is a good link to check food values.
