RE: Diet for Diabetic?

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

That is a problem with HMOs, unfortunately. Seee if they have someone else

to see., Iknow many people who are on HMO's and have asked to change

doctors.

Re: Diet for Diabetic?

How do I find a good one? I have to stay in a specific group of doctors

because of insurance.
