Diabetes for a lifetime
by: RMS on Thu, Mar 12 2009

I have had Diabetes for 50 years (diagnosed at age 3. My control is good (Aic yesterday 6.0) but whatever I go to the doctor for they always say its due to the diabetes and I need to take care of myself. I am a Diabetes educator and I’m certain I know more about the disease than most of these doctors. My sprits are low lately because I have a toe ulcer that it taking a long time to heel and is extremely painful (of course some of them swear I don’t have much feeling in my feet due to neuropathy. I even had an evaluation my a neurology that said I definitly have no signs of neuropathy Do any of you have this response from your doctors and what do you do about it?
