I've been stewing over this for a week now, and it's upsetting me more and more. I had bloodwork done two weeks ago and my follow up appointment last Wednesday.
After congratulating me in dropping from 8.5 to 6.2 from diet alone, my doctor then lectured me on testing my glucose "too much". Some days I test many times (6 or more) because I love data. And I find trends and results so informative and inspiring.
I am under the care of a therapist, who also is T2, and she encourages me to test. Test, adjust, test. So I was really upset when my doctor said that I needed to "find a healthy medium" and there is "no reason to test more than twice a day".
Like I said, I'm still stewing over this. Especially as someone whose needle phobia was so debilitating before therapy last year, that I contemplated suicide instead of bloodwork or vaccines. And she KNOWS this history.
I'm not sure what I expect to get out of posting this, I'm just still upset and need a place to vent.
