[acb-diabetics] weight loss

[Alice Ritchhart]

I have to disagree the one who can't handle my blindness is a foreign 
doctor. He couldn't even believe I cook for myself, but had nerve to 
tell me I'm over weight, and as stated eariler said he could treat me 
cause I'm blind. In fact he never called me back with my lab results. 
Mind you my general physican was able to give me my A1C3 results 
before I even left his office. My kidney test and other labs within a 
week. It has been 3 weeks since I saw that so called specialist.
