I think we diabetics, we know better than the doctors how we are doing; when I last went to the endocrinologist, my sugar was 70, stable not going down; they said they couldn’t let me drive it my sugar was lower than 80. The nurse brought out sugar glucose tablets, and said eat at least two. I should have just said, no i am leaving have a nice day!!! But I ate the tabs, and when I arrived home, my sugar was 165. So next time I will use MY best judgment. When my HA1C was 4.8, and I printed out my graphs reflecting carbs and all the sensor tracking and blood testing, the doc said you aren’t eating enough. I said, what are you talking about, I have gained ten pounds over the last few years, and want to lose that now; isn’t so easy when you are on insulin. Anyway, I say all of this with thankfulness for good doctors; I have many. I have had retinopathy, and other complications from diabetes, and my arthritis specialist won’t allow me to use the heavy drugs that reduce inflammation, but I am still energetic and active and pushing the envelope for individuals with disabilities to have a life life ours. It is like mission work, and as long as I can afford the supplies for the pump, have insurance, and stay with a regimen, I hope to continue to contribute to many causes. Have a great day!!! KWLawson
