Went to doctor this morning for an infection. Received a call this afternoon from Diabetic nurse saying doctor wanted to mark me as 'resolved' so that I only needed HBA1C test every 12 months was that alright ? No I replied, if I carried on eating chips and chocolate cake, took the metformin and gained weight I would be supported but if I control my diabetes with diet you want to cast me adrift. She seemed to buy the argument and suggested a second call with another doctor. Of course I can get my test strips on line but it is a matter of principal. My HBA1cs have been 36-40 since diagnosis 42 months ago with weight loss and low carb diet ( I refused metformin until I had tried life style change) so I kinda understand their point, but this surely puts me at prediabetic level even with severely restricted carbs. Should I suggest an Oral Glucose Tolerance test before they set me loose ? Last home administered one I went very high but back to normal within two hours so it might be interesting to see what is going on with my insulin. Thoughts ?
