Anonymous question submitted:
Almost 2 years ago my GP told me (in a fit of temper!!), I was diabetic! He did not tell me what type or what he was going to do about it! Then my Local Hospital conducted some tests over a 96 hour stay (unrelated), in hospital at the end of which they stated I was not diabetic! I have no symptoms as far as I know! However some years ago I was diagnosed with Familial Hypertriglyceridemia which was brought under control by drug therapy.
My question: How do I prevent my GP from misdiagnosing diabetes and treating me to a stroke and certain death? I've already had three heart events and don't care for another any time soon!!
