[Guest guest]

,

Wild questions sometimes huh??? Sounds like me...lol...He has a

Doctors appt. Friday morning..He says he doesn't want me to

come..lol..I know what it is, if i know things then i can yell at him

later...See if i just take his word for it then when he's sitting

eating something he can say " the Doctor didn't tell me

that! " ...lol...Nope he's got me there too, whether he likes it or

not..been through everything else with him, not letting something

like this go on without my input...I know, one of those

wives..lol..Another question? This is just the family doc..are we

looking a specialist here?? Oh and another question for everyone...I

am supposed to leave for Michigan Monday, if they start him on meds

or anything, is it ok for me to go?? He says he's not a kid, he'll be

fine..But i worry...This has really been bugging me, I'll cancel if i

should..Not real important..just a chance for me to go visit a friend

i haven't seen in forever...all by myself..lol..always taking hubby

or kids...you know how it is...lol...Thanks Debbie

Actually, most diabetes educators recommend that spouses get involved with

the treatment and education. There are things that they feel (and justly

so) that you know. I think it is a smart thing for you to do (:

This can only be done if both parties agree to it because of the privacy act.

I can see the doctor wanting to see the 'patient' alone for at least one

interview. There may be questions that the person might feel

uncomfortable about with a spouse present. However, on the other hand,

it might be nice to also have a private conference with the spouse

also. They too may want to ask a question or make a comment the the

feel uncomfortable about the other hearing.

It might be a question regarding sex. Diabetes does affect all parts of

the body. It might be something to do with a persons thoughts, feelings

or actions.

Anyway, after at least one private interview each, for the doctor to get

a feeling for how things are, then most of the stuff should be done as a

couple with no secrets or hidden agendas. (In fact, those separate

discussions might reveal such a thing to the doctor).
