Hi Miggitz, and welcome to the forum. I'm glad you decided to join since everyone here is filled with so much useful and interesting information. You will definitely learn alot about yourself and your diabetes.
Diabetes can be very scary when first diagnosed, but you must just get control of it and things will be great. I'm still trying to control mine, but I've started a new regime within the last two weeks and I'm still working out all the little bugs. I am fortunate to have found a great group of docs that actually listen to me, work with me, and have my best interest at heart. I've been through too many other docs (mostly endo's) who are so arrogant (which I hate) and just through things at you with no questions or answers. I now see a Endo who deals with nothing other than diabetes in adults (she is actually called a Diabetologist), a Cardiologist (I have nothing wrong with my heart, but because I'm at such high risk I go to a Cardiovascular Disease Clinic), and really great nurses and support people who have been extremely detrimental in helping to find a solution to this thing called diabetes. I live in the Cleveland area, so I have the Main Cleveland Clinic Foundation where all of my doctors are. I hate having to go downtown to see them, but it is well worth it. Just a hassle with traffic and driving. I do not work in an area that is convenient to getting to downtown Cleveland, so I try to schedule appointments before or after work.
Stick around here, listen, read, and learn alot. Go to suggested websites as they also contain a huge amount of educational and informative material. The best defense you can have is educating yourself because doctors do not have all the answers. I like to remind myself that all doctors are "practicing" medicine; they are not all experts. Hopefully we can help to educate them a little more on reality and what actually happens and helps a diabetic.
