E-mail to doctor...

So I sent an update e-mail to my doctor... below:

Update on how I am doing...
I have started exercising more and watching my carb intake, with these adjustments I have been getting much better results.
Fasting: average 85-115... (100 under, seem to be more prevalent when I eat something small before bed... maybe it jump starts my pancreas, or something.)
2 hour after meal: 90-160... (still trying to find out what carbs work for me and what not)
Randoms: I have had at least 3 readings over 200 and several more under 70.
Recent A1C: 5.6

Trying to find carb counts is difficult but I think I could potential minimize my insulin resistance or eliminate it completely if I am able to continue my lifestyle changes.

Do you still want me to monitor? I rely on those readings to see how certain food affects my BG. If you do I have about a week and a half left worth of strips. I test approximately 50 times a week. 100 every 2 weeks.

If you have any feedback please e-mail me back.

I gave her all that and all I bloody **** get back is this:
Hi Cheyenne,
Reviewed your mail. You can check the fingerstick blood sugar once daily some times fasting and sometimes 2 hrs after meals. If the morning sugars are higher than 126, then come in for lab tests, we can check your fasting blood sugars. I ordered the test strips and lancets for you.

I think it is time for a new doctor!! I am trying to be proactive so I don't end up like my grandma dead from D complications. All she wants me to do it bloody test once a day, I am not going to fall for that bull**** they give to pre's and some type 2 who end up going in later in a worse condition that before!! Gosh I hate doctors!!
