My primary care doctor is that way. He tells his patients what they should do, but is never suprised if they don't, and he does not make a big deal out of it. I keep him because I get along well with him, and he pretty much does what I tell him to. LOL My endo, on the other hand, is just the opposet (sic). She will yell at me if my numbers are not good, on the assumption that I have not been following her " orders " . Kathleen, does your doctor want to see your numbers between now and your next appointment in April? My endo wants me to fax them to her once a week. She is one persistant doctor, thank goodness.
