Diabetes is a complex group of diseases, all managed differently. I would advise you to enroll in a diabetes education class by a certified educator to get the full information about the disease. Diabetes causes many severe complications if not properly controlled, & ignorance of the disease & the tools for control is the primary cause of poor control. Your doctor should have taken care of this at the beginning. In my practice, I would not take care of a person with diabetes of any kind if they were not willing to take a 10-15 hr. class from a Certified Diabetes Educator. You can't do right if you don't know what is right. So, find a diabetes educator & get the training needed to get & keep good control.
