Re: Sorry

[Guest guest]

Girl,

Whine all you want. We've all been there. I was fortunate in one way when

I was diagnosed over 23 years ago. I had a super endocrinologist who is now

head of the Joslin Clinic branch here in Miami. I only call him now in an

emergency as I also have a great PCP. But there were no online groups, etc

so that wasn't so great.

Sorry

> I want to apologize to you all for whining all day. You have been so

sweet with your suggestions, advice and encouragement. I am just feeling so

sorry for myself. It's bad enough to have diabetes but then not have a Dr

who gives a damn. I spent the day calling specialists in our area but none

of them take our insurance. I don't know why as it's a major insurance co.

I just feel like every time I turn around, there is another road block. I'm

just having a lot of trouble accepting this especially since my hubby eats

carbs 24hrs/day and I love them too. My dh made a cake tonight and while he

was eating it, I went back in my room and cried. I know he didn't do it on

purpose but it was so hard for me. My bg is through the roof already so I

can't afford to eat anything that will make it worse. I'm feeling very down

tonight. I tried calling hospitals today but by the time I did, the

diabetes dept was close so I will call back tomorrow. Dh gets paid Friday

so I can finally get a monitor to use any time of the day instead of

borrowing someone else's. I need to find myself a nutritionist too because

I don't even understand what causes diabetes much less how to control it.

Anyway, I'm sorry again for whining. I write to apologize for whining and

what happens??? I whine again. I hope one of these days I will be very

confident in my ability to control this stupid disease.
