He was extremely rude and literally started stomping his feet at me in anger before storming out of the room when I was attempting to show him proof he was telling me incorrect information concerning glucose levels. According to him there is no difference between taking a fasting glucose, and a glucose level directly after eating. This was completely false, it takes time for your pancreas to release insulin to bring your glucose back down after eating. That is why any diabetic specialist will tell you to accurately take a fasting glucose it is advised to wait at least two hours after eating. If you take it earlier than that the acceptable ranges are higher than when taking a fasting glucose as well.

So much to say I dont know how to say it. I dont like bashing people on the internet. but this is more of a warning. Needless to say - our loved one was moved to a more qualified facility. Shocking the rudeness when it was unwarranted.
