So am struggling to get head round things ... Hubby yesterday 'why are u crying?'..... Like doh
Then also 'you are testing far too much, you shouldn't need to test that much', 'stop panicking your figures are normal' ( readings of 9, 10, 11, 13 etc ain't normal' 'you should be eating carbohydrate, it says so in the booklet from the doctor' and then asking me, as ever, to look things up for him on the computer when he knows I've got blurry eyes and struggling to see.....
I feel so alone.....

I also feel very let down by my gp and another one at the practise, I know realise that itching they put down to excema was caused by excess sugar in urine and had been happening for over 18 months...why the xxxx didn't they pick up it was diabetes and am worrying about the amount of damage done...
Am having the fasting blood test today and will see him end of week, will definitely confront him over it
 
We all feel like that sometimes, like thre is no one there for us.

It's probably cold comfort, but I was going backwards and forwards to my GP for a couple of years with various things, his stock answer was loose weight, then I started to loose without trying and he was still at a loss. It wasn't until I had done something health related at work and presented him with a sheet of results that he picked it up...
