Listen, I know it makes you feel better to believe doctors are all knowing and all caring. Don't be disillusioned. You are a paycheck and a number...to MOST doctors.

Are there some out there who genuinely care? YES. But you won't find them easy, and they are not all over the place.

I learned last year after bad experiences with several doctors, that I am responsable to find the best care for ME. I use to believe doctors were like gods, all knowing and all caring, and I stupidly believed everything they said, cuz..well, they are doctor. Now? Heck to the NO.

Now? I am the boss, they work for me, and if I don't believe they have the best interest in ME and not a pharmacutical world, then I fire them and move on to the next dr.

The facts are, that doctors are in a somewhat losing situation, as the medical industry is pharmicutically driven. DRUGS. The money is in DRUGS. And kickback for perscribing drugs is real. You wanna know who makes real money??? Pharmacutical salesmen. Yep, those people who go around giving free drug samples and lunches to all the offices. My sister works for a large hospital off branch doctors office. The things these salesmen do are mind blowing. They throw parties, give food, drug samples, kick backs..ON A WEEKLY BASIS. And the doctors? Well, being human, they do it. More money for them. Every time you see a doctor pull out a perscription pad...you have to wonder...why is he writing it for that specific drug??? How much is he getting for every single RX he writes for that drug????

Sorry, Im on a rant.

You are too young to not fight for your health. You are in a serious situation. If you don't realize that, then you should. Take control. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. Become your own best advocate for YOU. Because do you really wanna lose use of your legs or feet? or live in pain????

Diabetes is serious. If you have it, you best get informed on the REAL facts. And don't just trust what I am saying, or anyone else, RESEARCH IT YOURSELF.

Knowledge is power. You have the world wide web at your fingertips. Use it. And don't just trust 1 person or voice, prove it out.
