    hello, i don't know you but as i read your share post i really pitied on you just as the rest of the diabetes patients, hence may i advice you to please check my website www.insags.lifemax.net, there you can find the product named MILA (the miracle seed) from lifemax USA which is very effective for the cure of diabetes, mind you if this would be the end of your misery. it really works even after 30 minutes of eating one tablespoon of mila, your blood sugar will surely go down to a normal level.  just try it.

    I am sure that MILA (the miracle seed) from lifemax USA is a very fine product.   Mila is a blend of Salvia Hispanica L. (chia seeds) and  is one of the healthiest foods on the planet but from my knowledge it is NOT a cure.  You can check this out with your health professional.

    If MILA is not a cure, then how come there  are a lot of diabetes patients I know who were relieved of their problems and lived a normal lives now, including their blood pressure normalized.  I know you won't subscribed to it for it's not a drug prescribed by most health care professionals, coz it's only a food and foods can't claim therapeutic evidence for it's not a drug that is synthetics has a lot of side effects.  Even if you dont submit to this idea, just give it a try, it's a natural food hence, no side effects.

    As an RN who is a diabetic, I strongly suggest you speak with your Healthcare provider and obtain a referral to a Certified Diabetes Educator.  You NEED to meet with one to EDUCATED YOURSELF on:  How to CORRECTLY and SIMPLY learn how to use your meter.  If you aren't happy with that brand, ask for another!!!  I spent over five years in homecare, going into people's homes and teaching them how to use meters, when meters WERE difficult and complicated to use.  You also NEED to SPEAK with someone who can help you deal with your anger issues.  Your frustration over not understanding your labwork, or not understanding what the results represent is NOT GOING TO HELP YOU DEAL WITH YOUR DIABETES!!  You need to understand the medication you are on.  You need to be educated on how and when to take it, what the side effects are, and how to deal with them.  You need to be educated on a PROPER daibetic diet.  It seem you have receive an overwhelming amount of conflictig information, leading to your frustration and confustion.  I find it hard to believe that a medical professional would not understand basic blood panels ordered, and would need to spend over an hour "figuing them out."  If your fasting blood sugar and Hemoglobin a1C were "conflicting," the tests need to be repeated.  First and foremost, YOU MUST BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE!  Is there someone who can accompany you to you appointments?  Often two sets of ears are better than one.  If you don't understand what's going on, ASK!!!  If a health care professional "yells" at you about something, STAND UP FOR YOURSELF, AND INFORM THEM THEY ARE NOT ACTING IN A PROFESSION MANNER!!  Insist on speaking to someone else!  Here's a prime examlpe why a second person in the room may be helpful - they can help diffuse a potentially volatile situation.  Is it possible that your apparent anger about your diagnosis is affecting the way you are conducting yourself?

     

    Please trust me when I tell you that a diagnosis of diabetes IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, NOR IS IT THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!!!  If I were to tell you my complete story, you probably would think I was making most of it up.

     

    PLEASE CALM DOWN.  PLEASE TAKE A DEEP BREATH.  PLEASE BE THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE GIVEN TO YOU.  PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF, AND PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.  Channel your anger into ways to help yourself and learn to LIVE with diabetes.
