So today I went to my Endo appointment. My Endo is a great Dr. Finally!!! Because I have came across some not so nice or understanding Dr.’s. I feel like I could ask him all the questions that I need to without being judged or thought of as an ignorant patient. I found myself lying to him about certain questions that he would ask me. When I would get out of his office I would ask myself “why did I just do that?” I was putting my life in jeopardy, by not being honest. I guess I did it because I didn’t want to admit to myself let alone my Doctor that I don’t have the best habits in the world.
As a diabetic there is soo much that is expected of us. We need to learn about eating habits, and actually out them in effect with our daily routines. We are also expected to know about self testing, come up with an exercise regimen. Of course with all these things that we have to keep up with, don’t you think something is going to slip my mind? Like that juicy cheeseburger that I had for lunch or that candy bar that I had for dinner a few weeks ago that I was still paying for a few days later.
So I was asking my friends why do we lie to our Doctors? I mean they are probably the one person who we have to completely be honest with. They have our lives in their hands. It’s not like they are going to tell anyone because they can’t break that Patient Doctor Confidentiality paper that we signed the first day we came to see them. So then again there goes my $100 question why do we lie to our Doctors? You Should out DiabeticUnion . Com
