I agree. Given the fact that I have Type 1 diabetes for close to 30 years, I am very much aware of the possibilities of what I face if I do not take care of myself on a day to day basis. Because of this I try to keep up to date as much as possible by using as many sources as possible, and questioning my doctors when I see them. I do know that I have my limits as a patient, and I will never have the knowledge of my doctors, but if I think my doctor is wrong or I disagree with him/her, I will challenge them. Passive, not me.
