Sitting on my hands re: diabetic control being simply a matter of following the rules perfectly (HA! I wish!) and also ERs in general, due to some Very Bad Experiences about post traumatic pain complaints being ascribed to drug seeking when in fact one was a broken pelvis (the ER doc made my friend stand up, without taking Xrays, which broke his pelvis more thoroughly, demanding surgery and put him in Harborview for three weeks at taxpayer expense) and multiple vertebral fractures (my dear Uncle went to the ER because his regular doc was spending Christmas in Hawaii; they gave him 800mg Ibuprophen and treatment was delayed for a week).
I rather think anyone over the age of twenty has comparable "The ER decided someone was faking and they ended up worse" but, yeah, spooge, whatever.
