So what do you all think?...

When my Doc told me I had Diabetes - I was ok with it. When she dx my daughter (whom I have been trying for 2-3 years now to get some treatment for all her illness's ) I was actually angry with her as I felt she had let my child down immensely! Anyway since changing docs - I now see the new one quite regular - due to my jellyfish stings etc.

When he conducted my first A1C test - he was surprised at the reading and wanted to know what my sugar level was when I was diagnosed. He then actually said that my BS was good etc etc. When I went back to see recently regarding the jellyfish sting - and to get treatment - I mentioned to him that my BS was always higher now than usual - or higher from the last three months. I also mentioned that I was concerned that my fasting level in morning was high? Being nearly always over 6 - but no higher than 6.5

He told me that I was overly concerned about nothing - that I had good control over my sugars etc.. he actually dismisses me anytime I try to talk to him about my D.

I am getting just a bit frustrated with the docs here and am not sure how to go about getting the proper treatment / advice regarding my higher than usual BS.
