Easy there....we diabetics generally don't take kindly to being told that our chronic condition will kill us. I know that you mean well, but those are harsh words.

Diabetes is one of those delightful ailments where, no matter how good the doc, it really does come down to self-management and lots of experimentation. It's like driving a manual transmission all the time, and no one clutch is like another....you just have to figure it out, and you're going to stall a few times along the way. That stuff can really get a person down....been there...

My healthcare team is very good, but they can't do it for me. All the really good stuff I know about my D came from testing and trialing and experimenting on my own.

(Didn't mean to get on my soapbox there....no offense meant.)
