Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Oh BTW it is not easy to find a good doctor, I am not going to lie to you. It took me a while to find mine but man was it worth the hunt! She is perfect for me... teaches carb counting, wants my a1c at 5.0, and just really takes me by the hand and is a team player, not a doctor that says do this see you next time. She takes time with me and we learn from one another. She learns from me and I learn from her. She is humble and loves her patients. A funny story... she was working with a type 1 that wasn't following carb counting and his a1c was 13. She seen him pull through Mc's with a bag full of crap food and eating it all himself. His next appointment she told him she would no longer be seeing him and she saw him go through Mcs lol lol. He didn't care about his health and she did. LOL. This gal is tough stuff but man is she great! My last visit, about 3 weeks ago, she looks at me and says I want you to lose 15 pounds. Before she could even finish what she was going to say, I cut her off and told her about my body mass index scale and so on. She cracked up and just said gosh you know to much! I weighed, at that time, 175 and am 5 foot 10 inches. People at my work thought I was nuts saying I had to lose 15 pounds. I am thin already. My BMI lower end is 148 and upper end is 185. She wanted me at 160 towards the middle of my BMI scale. Well, guess what, as of this morning, I have lost 10 pounds already and am at 165. I listen to what she tells me to do. Sorry for going on about her but I just love my doc! So, I pray you can find someone like my doc . Keep looking and you will find one. You want one that takes a team approach and will work with you, not just tell you what to do, I am better than you, know more than you, now get out lol.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 When I went to the diabetic educator, she told me about carb counting and gave me a print copy of the exchange list. She and the nurse told me how many carbs I should have and how much exercise to do. That was about it. My friend who was recently diagnosed, had 4 or 5 classes. I think they showed her how to use the meter at the classes. I didn't start doing testing until a long while after I was diagnosed as I couldn't afford the equipment and my insurance wouldn't pay for it. I was fortunate enough to talk State Services into paying for the Voice Mate or I still wouldn't be doing it. Unfortunately, that counselor is gone so I'm lucky I got what I did.
