I recently had an appointment with my endoc, she was a little busy with another patient so she sent in the nurse to take down my info, like my weight, blood pressure, and record what my blood sugars are.

The nurse kept flipping the pages in my file back and forth from my last appointment in November comparing the info from then to now.

She mentionrd that my blood sugars are much lower now than they were at my last appointment.

I told her that I don't eat processed food very much anymore, I make make most of what I eat homemade, and I get up earlier in the morning to do yoga or pilates, and I do cardio 20-45 min a day.

I also told her that I notice my clothes are getting a little bigger.

She flips back and starts comparing my weight from my last visit and tells me I have lost 7 pounds since November.

Naturally as anyone would be I am happy, Im not too worried about my weight as I am about my health, although I would looove to get rid of the flubber around my waist.

My doctor comes into the room and sits down. the nurse starts telling her the info she took from me. S he tells the doctor that I have lost weight and my blood sugar is much.

My doctor looks at me and tells me that is good news.

The nurse says '' I don't think she is eating, she's lost some weight and her blood sugars are low''

I lost 7 pounds in 3 months! That is not alot for 3 months, I am not even trying, I am pretty comfortable with the shape of my body, my only concern is the muffin top!!!!

I am lazy when it comes to ab workouts so I give up on them.

I am following the meal plan from my dietician.

I am not spending hours in the gym punishing my body, I am taking it slow and working my way up.

I am so angry at that nurse, my doctor took her side after she told me I was doing good!

I am confused, my blood sugars are in a good range, I am eating healthier, I still have alittle chocolate when I get the craving and had pizza for lunch yesterday.

I tried to tell this to both of them but for some reason whe I said I don't eat processed food they heard I dont eat food,

and I want to lose the fat on my stomache, they heard I want to lose weight, I am fat.

I spoke to my dietician down the hall after that appointment and told her what had happened, she has been working with me closely on my diet and exercise plan,

she did not agree and explained that this nurse thinks all young girls with diabetes must have an eating disorder, she knows this because this nurse goes to her all the time with concerns with other diabetic female patients of a certain age group.

My dietician looked over my log book(we also comunicate through email) and told me I was doing good, and not to let this discourage me.

I hope at my next appointment I wont have to see that nurse, I will refuse to speak to her if she is just going to hear what she wants to hear.
