Have the confidence to express your thoughts and feelings about your treatment plan, or whatever you are discussing. But try not to go too far the other way. Remember that the healthcare professionals do have a special knowledge and understanding of medicine and diabetes. You may think that you know all that there is to know about diabetes, but you should always be open to fresh ideas. Always be ready to learn from the diabetes team.
Communication is a two-way process.
If there are difficulties on either side then your healthcare may suffer. You should not suffer unnecessarily and you must not stop attending the clinic.
