Went to the doctor today. It was an okay appointment. If my body is still doing crazy things in December, I'm to call him - and he'll start me on a new med. What upset me was the fact that he told me to quit thinking of myself as insulin resistant and just call myself Diabetic - and to treat myself as such. This will be hard for me - I still cannot give up sweets!
One positive - in the year since my last appointment, I'm down 3 pounds. That may not seem like a lot, but every little bit is a victory when I have a body that is fighting weight loss with a stubbornness I haven't encountered before.
The appointment was an hour in length. Seriously! Made me good to have a doctor sit there and talk with me, listening to my concerns and then discussing WITH ME our plan of action!
