… especially if you’re diabetic.

 I went to a new eye doctor today, and after reviewing my information he noted that I was diabetic.  I had clearly marked that I was a Type 1 Diabetic in good control, and he asked “So do you take pills or do you use diet and exercise to control that?”  I tried to hide my disdain and replied, “Well, as a type 1 diabetic, I am insulin dependent, so I need to take insulin.”  Honestly, I know not to expect that other medical professionals are 100% up to date about diabetes, but is it too much to ask that they at least know the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes???    Am I asking too much???  

 Besides that, the appointment went well – no signs of diabetic retinopathy yet and no other causes for concern yet.  Whew
