Bu...I'm with Scully; you have this in the bag.<br /><br />But, since you asked... I find that many health professionals have trouble being judgment-free. Everyone's diabetes and personal situations are different, but often we're prejudged based on numbers that lack enough context to tell the whole story of our treatment protocols. Too many times I've shared a "noncompliant" number with a nurse or doctor during the routine medical ingest procedure at the beginning of a visit and gotten judgment in return, even though those same providers aren't actually empowered or prepared to take any time to help make my diabetes "better."<br /><br />I'm sure healthcare providers feel an obligation to help encourage people to move their A1c and averages into a specific clinical range, and that's good. I'm also sure they've met with many patients over the years who have been "out of compliance" with those indicators, and that could conceivably make them jaded or cynical; I get that. But I think they should understand that a failure to meet standards every quarter with a chronic illness isn't "failure" at all or even a reasonable expectation, and a person who repeatedly can't attain those standards might have larger issues that require a different clinical or mental health approach.Jeffhttp://www.jeffmatherphotography.com/dispatches/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010562925876755413.post-75308672830442158382013-01-22T12:38:34.103-05:002013-01-22T12:38:34.103-05:00Dude.. this is pretty rad!
