…I know how you feel, boo. This is very similar to (though harsher than) my experience last week. There is always a circular argument to be oh-so-joyfully discovered in there.
Oh no!!! I have T1D and ~need~ to see an endo regularly but many of them have started down the path of…
I don’t seem to have good luck with them, the first one I saw put me on Metformin because “hormone issues aren’t an excuse to be overweight”. I took them a few times, to see if they actually did stabilise my insulin as is their main role, and ended up having really bad vomiting and cramps, and this was on the second day of taking one- he wanted me to work up to six a day. I told him this and he told me I should have tried harder to “work through it”. I guess not being in pain is less important than not being fat.
I was put on Metformin too!!! Apparently it was to “stabilise my blood sugar” even though my Hb1Ac was just under 7 but on reflection the doctor wasn’t very transparent about putting me on it for weight loss purposes. (Note to non-diabeetus familiar people - low Hb1Ac means my BSLs were dropping all the time, DANGEROUS; and Metformin is a T2D medication. My T1D was already well controlled by insulin.) I was having hypos ALL the fucking time, had a really bad one where I was hallucinating and almost convinced myself I was a salamander and that I belonged in the pool (thank goodness the door was LOCKED!) and the ambulance came. Oh yes I lost a little bit of weight but I was unable to work because my blood sugar was low all the god damned time and I was running to the toilet every half an hour because I couldn’t control my bowel.
I HATE DOCTORS. It’s good to connect with other people who’ve had this sort of treatment even though it’s shit to have your life put in danger just because your doctor thinks you’re “TOO FAT”!
I am so angry >:(
