I've been seeing the good doctor for a bunch of years. At first I didn't want to believe I had diabetes. Tried to talk him our of it and said “I'd be good” I found out it doesn't work like that. Yes the doctor does slip with a few words,but he still a good doctor. I was in local hospital for an infection I got allergic reaction from a medication. Nothing to do with diabetes, but he stopped by to see me to make sure I was doing well. I have found out a few things in my life, but one that sticks out is treat other people the way you want to be treated. “Don't be Rude and they won't be Rude to you.” Take responsibility for your health. Diabetes is a tough disease! I didn't ask for it,but it can cause heart and kidney issues. Just a note. Before seeing Doc. Aiello my sugar numbers were in mid 400's. Now days my 7 day average is 97. A1c was pushing 12.6 now 6.4. There will be good days and bad, but I know the doc got my back. “I'm in good hands”
