Hi Paula,
Thanks for replying to my message. I've calmed down since that last
post, and have realised it's time to move on The doctor I spoke to
looked at me like I was mad when I suggested an insulin sensitising drug
and said that was only for diabetes - but I don't think I'm going to
waste my time on her - I want to be referred to a specialist.
Anyway, the fight goes on.
