Hone...Good for you that you DO "get it!" Honestly, the nephrologist does sound like an idiot. Much kidney failure is caused directly by diabetes. How could he not know that? What I and my husband have found is that as he gets more and more doctors "onboard," it gets more confusing, as some understand what diabetes can do, and others seem to have no clue whatsoever. Even though it can be exhausting, it really does pay to educate yourself, as often you have to be in "defense mode" with the very doctors who are supposed to know it all. We have learned the hard way not to blindly say "okay" to all they want him to do!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850646712565307929noreply@blogger.com
