| An endo I went to a couple of years ago had me on so much Novolin R and N that I was constantly having to eat to overcome severe lows and then having rebound highs. When my A1c's would be around 7, he would say, "A few lows now and then are no big deal." Of course, he didn't feel as lousy as I felt all the time! He didn't want me to try lantus. After a few months of putting up with his refusal to listen to what I had to say or answer my questions, it dawned on me that he was probably getting some perks from the company that makes the products he was prescribing.
I found another doctor, an internist, who presribed lantus and humalog and I'm doing so much better. Unfortunately he moved. Now I have an appt. with another endo Monday. I hope he's nicer than the last one. If he's not, he's history! I've reached a point in my life where I'm not willing to put up with doctors who are rude or who don't have time to listen or answer questions. After all, they are our employees, so we have a right to fire them if they aren't doing the job.  |
