Did that Dr prescribe a blood sugar testing at home for you? That way you can check your own blood sugar since he’s too lazy to test you while you’re in his office.

A nutritionist can help with what to eat, but really, so can Google and YouTube. Search eating as a diabetic you'll be surprised. Oh, and stage 3 is usually quite a ways from any thoughts of dialysis. Hopefully the referral will come in time.
