Doctors and Diabetes

 Doctors are ok.  I mean, they are "trained" at what they are suppose to be doing.  Heck, my husband is in medical school right now to be a doctor.  Half of my extended family are doctors....

 That, however, does not mean that doctors know everything.  Ever since I was a young child with diabetes, I have always connected with the doctors who related to me, tried to understand me and not just tell me what to do.  The people I listened to the most were people who had diabetes, cause I felt like they really knew about daily struggles and trials, and weren't just going by what they read in a book.

 I once had a doctor tell me "you know your body better than me" (true)----"so you know what is best for it."  I agree with this guy.  So now, why I am in limbo in New Orleans with NO PLACE to live at the moment, and working on health insurance, do I need a to go see a doctor three times before he will write me a prescription ?  ( I am not saying this isn't how it should be, I am just frustrated).  I am running low on supplies ( yes, I could have planned better, but I wouldn't be living with my two gals out of a hotel if I could have planned better)  and need them soon---very very soon in fact.  I have been on the same meds for years so I know exactly what I need.  Why can't you just trust me doc?  If you don't it might be even worse since I won't have any insulin, then have that one on your conscious.
