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.
(Didn't mean to get on my soapbox there....no offense meant.)
No, we don't take it kindly. But sometimes we have to face the facts. If we don't manage our blood sugar, IT WILL KILL US.

And one can't do a good job of experimentation unless one has some education to direct it. Otherwise it's just flailing blindly.
