well, I see my endo on tuesday, and I am already starting to feel anxiety. My average right now is at 7.6. I have been consistently testing my morning sugars between 5 and 7. I actually had a low bs on thursday afternoon 3.6 i couldn't believe it.)

I still have not heard word one about this clinical trial I'm supposed to be doing. I've been completely stressed out about work and my financial situation due to inadequate insurance coverage and trying to get them to change it and I've only been making it to the gym twice a week.

Its not going to be good, i just know he's going to get all in my face about food and my wieght.

I miss my old endo, because we seemed to be on the same page in terms of care & the like. My current endo's ok, but he & I have very different views on things.

Sometimes, going to the endo can feel like more of a hassle than a help, especially when there's worry of possible confrontation. Here's hoping that things go better than expected & that he'll treat you with the dignity & respect that you deserve. (((Hugs)))

Thanks but my endo won't do referals other than to his own clinic's dietician and i've been through both of them. plus the courses all seem to cost money I DON'T HAVE., sure courses are great but when you're down to living on less than $200 a month they just ain't gonna happen.

The more I read this thread about how many of you get so ticked off after seeing your endo, the more pissed off I get.

I am the first to admit that I have a sick (pardon the pun) sense of humor, but I use it to my advantage. My doctor remembers me because of this, and like you said gettingby, it works.

well, i saw him. what a waste of time and energy to get there on time only to have to wait. No Student today so that was okay. He seemed pleased with my numbers over all but still wants me to keep upping my dose of insulin, (i'm already at 120 units a day) and since i am having such money issuses gave me 2 weeks of nph for free. Still overall just not conecting. oh and the clinical trial is a no go.
