[QUOTE="vit90, post: 793371, member: 141633"] At my surgery there are several GPs and I have had contact with two and assigned one. A third was the recipient of my original referral from the retinopathy department of a local hospital but not had any contact with that one. Of the two I have had contact with one was very supportive of losing weight to make the diabetes, in his words, go away. The doctor I have been assigned to was not very interested in what I had to say and although didn't tell me not to do the NCD it was clear what I was saying was going in one ear and out the other. My DN has been supportive but did not indicate any knowledge of the NCD. I think because I had already lost almost 8 kilos and shown slightly improved BG in my second venous blood test at diagnosis she was happy to let me do my thing. But if my doctor tried to persuade me to not do the NCD and insist I follow outdated guidelines I would ask for a second opinion or even a different GP. [/QUOTE]
