Rebecca replied to Jack's discussion 'T1 and marijuana'"This was my biggest issue with weed. I found a few methods of reducing this:
1. VAPORIZE. I prefer to vaporize 99.9% of the time. Mostly because I do not want the negative health effects of inhaling burning plant matter. If you are a regular user…"
Rebecca replied to Richard157's discussion 'Factors Influencing Accuracy Of Insulin Dosing'"I have had a lot of issues with the novo nordisk pens giving less than accurate doses. I spent three weeks thinking I was going nuts, when really my pen was giving me less than half the dose I was entering. I switched to syringes to remedy this.…"
Super_sally replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I believe you should think and research before doing anything. In particular you should try to find out if there have been any other complaints about inappropriate actions.
He is an endocrinologist. You are a new patient and just referred from pedia…"
christy replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"That's really interesting. I mean yes I can understand the whole audience thing, but it's interesting a practioner would leave themselves open for the potential of someone saying something inappropriate happened. It's must much easier…"
Sam replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I've never turned my head and coughed with anyone but the dr or nurse practitioner in the room, and not sure I would appreciate the audience"
christy replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I think for women, I know from personal experience. I'd MUCH rather go to the Ob/Gyn for the lady part examinations, and on my own personal experience even though they aren't FUN examinations, every Gyn male or female I've been to has…"
rick phillips replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"Interesting you should say that about Male's not getting this exam done unless it is done at the time of initial screening. I remember that i read somewhere that diabetic males tend to have a greater issue with swollen testicles.
Now what is…"
christy replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"Oh I can assure you it's NEVER a fun experience. Nothing I enjoy more than going to get the lady parts checked out. And yes it is certainly part of a thorough examination, but usually reserved more for yearly physicals/Gyn type exams. If it had…"
Sam replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I don't recall ever feeling anything but uncomfortable while standing in front of a doctor with pants down and them fondling my parts. I still think this is normal. Maybe he was thorough, maybe he was old school... But it is not beyond any…"
Saren replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I'm most definitely not saying she shouldn't report it. That's her decision and I agree that it's not good to feel uncomfortable with a dr under any circumstances.
I am merely pointing out that, despite the OP, you and many…"
christy replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"But we aren't talking YEARS ago, this happened THREE years ago. I just think as a LONG time diabetic, who was diganosed when I was 10 and am now almost 40. This was strange. A simple medical history such as age of menstruation, how regular are…"
Saren replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"Don't you think that it being a standard practice in a major hospital for many years means that there is probably a medical basis? Perhaps it was off base for current practices but WAY off base - I don't think so.
The opinion of a…"
christy replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I'm still leaning to this was weird, and especially if it makes the OP feel uncomfortable and taken advantage of, then it should be reported, and YES definitely filing a complaint with your insurance company as well is a good step to take along…"
Saren replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"I'm sorry this made you uncomfortable but I think it was totally normal. When I was first diagnosed I was sent to the Children's Hospital in Vancouver for training. Not only did it happen there - there was a group of interns standing…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Did this doctor take advantage of me?'"Well, I looked into whether there might be a valid reason for an endocrinologist to be concerned about the development of a young woman of 18 who is diagnosed with diabetes. I found a monograph on the medical step-by-step best practice for…"

clarence haynes said… - Greeting and welcome to a fast growing family of people who ar all ages ,from near and far, with all kinds of experiences and solutions. Just dont be afraid to ASK. As a person insuiln-dependent, since 1977, and a ROLE MODEL who at the young age of 91 have reached over 49.000 and counting.My contacts with top people in the field of diabetes and years of wisdom, has made me share the things that will putyou in the RIGHT TRACK. 1. have a good diabetic specialist, 2.wear a MEDIC-ALERT bracelet,it can SPEAK for you in case of emergencies, 3. listen to yor BODY, it tells you when o eat,snack, rest, sleep and EXERCISE. 4. have a DIABETIC BUDDY, someone you call EVERYDAY, it can serve 2 purposes, make someone's DAY. Try out my AMIGOKIT way of diabetes social group, it means that YOU call 5 diabetics, EVERYDAY, it will let people know you CARE and could SAVE A LIFE, And tell each person o call 5 DIABETICS. Keep In Touch and let me know how its workingin your area? Check out www.restorethebantinghomestead.com and see why AMIGOS will be selling BLUE ROSES on INSULIN APRECIATION DAY, JULY 30 I will be asking insulin users, worldwide,to join me in silence, and give THANKS, for INSULIN, giving hundreds of millions of us, a healthy lifestyle. The meaningof the BLUE ROSE is "ATTAINING THE IMPOSSIBLE' Our mission. The secret of dealing with diabetes is learn as much as you can about your diabetes and you will live LONGER.Have a plan and work the plan, EVERY DAY. clarence.haynes@symatico.ca Keep In Touch
