Doctors are always all about ,oh you need more insulin,or try this pill or that pill. More education is needed to help people just being diagnosed .

My biggest peeves are a lack of self-advocacy, a lack of self-education, and people's willingness to let someone else make decisions for them.

Universities who do diabetes research publish their findings online.

There are many, many viable and trustworthy sites on diabetes, meds, side effects, etc.

BUT!!! There has to be the willingness to go find the information needed and then act on it. Both in their lives and in their doctor's offices. I would love to see more people have it.

My doctor and diabetic nurse are very tight lipped about giving out to much information so that’s why I’m in this group seeking information from fellow diabetic’s. Like some of you have said it seems easier for the doctor’s to pop pills than educate people

You take the words out of my mouth my friend!

My Dr. is not for my education. Fo that department, I have e to go to another place. GOOGLE is the wrong answer!
