Doctors here don't care about assisting patients understand their diagnosis. My consistent and numerous complaints about my body not feeling right after being diagnosed as a prediabetic fell on deaf ears. I was not give any instruction about getting referrals to dietitians to better understand how to manage my blood sugar levels and I was not given any options to take medication where lifestyle changes have clearly failed to change my 24 hour every day thirst that just wouldn't go away no matter how much water I drank and how much my diet improved to rule out the common culprits of high blood sugar. All I was ever told was: you don't have diabetes. Just eat and exercise and you won't have a problem. Just a toss over the shoulder with no real assistance at all to understand this disease better. after reading books to better understand this disease I have come to realize there could have been more recommendations the nurses and physicians at this center could've offered. I always felt that my complaints always fell on deaf ears. I'm glad I've moved out of the area and will be changing physicians.
