had to see new dr because of hurricane katrina.  I can see my original one when things settle down but this guy kinda scared me.  He said diabetes is kind of like a house with termites.  It may look ok on the outside but it is doing damage inside.  He also asked when I was diagnosed and said go back 10 years beyond that date because it takes 10 years for it to show.  I don't know if he is a quack or what.  I really need to get back on track but it is like i am stuck in a rut.  I am dealing with depression and taking zoloft for it.  I also have bad panic attacks (more frequent since hurricane).  Anyway he was telling me i don't need to be taking zoloft or xanax because they have too many side effects.  I don't know which came first the depression or the diabetes.  He asked if my husband was head of household and if he could not tell me what to eat?.(what a nut)  I am ready to scream with everything that is going on.  Please help!
