How is he going to even prescribe medication for me? This is so much like a bad

I ask myself "what if, what if, what if" about the future and even
the past all the time. It doesn't help get anything done.
You can't prescribe medication for yourself.
No doctor is perfect.
But if you just sit there worrying and worrying you aren't getting
much done at all.
Somehow you've diagnosed yourself based on some lab results that
don't seem particularly clear-cut to me. Then you start extrapolating
to your doc prescribing something, when you apparently fear having
something prescribed, when you want something other than a pill
prescribed. You're working several steps ahead of the game, my
personal advice is to concentrate on the next step (meeting the
doctor) and not try to be so so many steps ahead.
This doesn't mean you stop educating yourself, but I really feel it
will help you narrow your focus about what to educate yourself on.
Others will tell you that my attitude is a problem and that I'm
wrong. That's OK. I've had this stupid disease 25 years and think that
in itself is a success. Others here write me up as a collosal failure
because I haven't worried myself into a cure for Type 1 diabetes by
now :-). But I've spent way too much time of that 25 years worrying,
nevertheless!
