I am SO sick of the medical profession, SO sick of these know-nothing doctors! My incompassionate medical "professional" just informed me that she will not be prescribing me the 200 tests strips that my insurance company allows me to have for FREE each month, she's only giving me 100 because I "should only be testing 2-3 times a day". I told this dummy, no, the only way I'm keeping my sugar under 140 is by TESTING at least 10 times a day. 'You're going to get too many callouses on your fingers'. WHO CARES!!! This is the same twit who told me to add fruit and carbs to my diet! I said 'maybe after 6 months or so when my sugars have leveled out I could test less, but it's only been a month since I've been diagnosed!' She says, 'I don't care, I'm only giving you 100'. I told her that it's obvious she doesn't care and that I don't care what she says, I'm still going to be testing as much as I have to, the only difference is that I'll be living on the street soon because now I have to spend my rent money on stupid pieces of plastic! And all she did was argue with me, getting a patient's stress level up, which is more than likely getting my sugar up now. I told her to eff off and she's no longer my doctor and hung up on her.
Hell, I could understand if it was medication I was asking for but these are just pieces of plastic that don't affect HER LIFE at all and even if I was only testing 2-3 times a day I could use the extras to stock up on, since my insurance is through the state, which is bankrupt and could end at any given moment.
Lord, I hate doctors - I'm going to be interviewing the new one I chose at length before I let her even touch me and now I'm more determined than ever to just deal with this on my OWN without these government-trained, Ansel Keys-worshipping nimrods!
