Why Are Diabetics the Worst Critics and Judges Over Other Diabetics?

Tweet

This is one subject that I am beginning to really despise. Is Diabetics who are quick to judge and condemn another Diabetic when they might not always know the underlying factors in why a Diabetic is the way that they are. And why judge someone unless you are doing everything you can to make sure you are feeling your Best day to day. The issue here at hand that I am trying to get Across is: The judgement that goes on from one of the co-workers I work with. Her and I just never tend to agree on anything, and she always feels like she knows everything, and I feel unless she has walked in my shoes, and lived life like I have, she has no reason to judge me. The issue at hand was discussing Doctors and Diabetes care. And with me saying unless a person is seeing an Endocronologist, a lot of the Doctors are very inexperienced about Diabetes, and that is why there are a lot of people around that have Diabetes complications that are sometimes quite severe when they are found out they are Diabetic. But at the same time, even when they know they are Diabetic, a lot of Doctors and nurses are unskilled, and know nothing, or never stop to think of the real issue at hand. I was trying to state to her, that I was suffering from Severe Chronic wounds due to being Diabetic, and going to a Wound Clinic, who never seemed to think that the reasons my wounds never healed was due to me not wanting to take care of myself. But at the same time my BG was running 350-375 a lot of the time after I ate, and did they seem to think that was the problem? No, they nor the Doctor I was seeing at the time, thought nothing of it. And the worst thing was, I had NO INSURANCE so I was wasting over $10,000 with no one caring about the real issue. What it took for me, was getting back on SS Disability for a time, getting a really Bad staph infection due to the Chronic wounds, etc. and ending up in the hospital for like 10 days, and then being put on Insulin right away, and on Antibiotics for 3 months, and then seeing the Wound Clinic again for these to heal. I know it was also thru the Grace of god thru all of this, I never lost my leg either. Since being put on Insulin, life is a lot better for me. I am No longer on Disability, and have a Full time job again which I enjoy, and Yes, I have my Good days and my Bad days with my Sugar levels, but I know that I feel unless a person has walked in someone elses shoes, why take the time to judge and be critical of someone? I feel we need to watch what we say, or it could come back around, and what I endured I would not want to really wish on anyone.
