Recently I went to have an Hb1C test for an upcoming retinopathy check.
I then learned that I am "the one who does not take meds."
The practice has 5 GPs and most of their patients are elderly. Of course I don't know how many of them are diabetics, but there must be quite a few.
It surprised me that I am the only one who managed to get off the medication.
But then again, I was checked by 3 of those 5 doctors during the last 4 years, and none of them ever told me what to eat or not to eat, and once I took control of my condition, none of them ever asked me how I did that. Other diabetic patients are likely treated the same way.
Are those of you, who manage without medication, also the exception?
