I empathize with your concerns. It's frustrating because the tools are there. They're readily available for the physicians.
A doctor told me once, “I love it when you come in, Karen”, because I tell her all sorts of things about diabetes. When I first moved to Toronto, I went to a physician. I told her I have diabetes, and she said, “No, sorry. I won't see you. You'll have to find someone else.” I said that I'm only here for a year and I understand diabetes. I won't be high maintenance; I just need a doctor if I have a cold or something. She said, “No, I won't take you.”
One doctor told me she loves it when I come in because she learns about diabetes. I said that there's all these conferences you can go to and there's literature, but she doesn't have time.
