Quick update Right, I went to the docs on Friday and pretty much as I got through the door I apologised to him, said I realised I had neglected myself and that I wanted to get things sorted ASAP. He accepted my readings and was happy that I had bought a meter for myself and that i was finding...

I'm at the docs this afternoon so hopefully he'll help me but I have a sneeking suspicion the closer the appointment gets that I'll just get refered for blood tests and the usual NHS diet stuff. Fingers crossed though that he'll be a bit more progressive. Readings so far are 14.5 19-10 17:38...

Wow, congratulations :D I think cure is a very big claim but I'm sure they have some studies to back it up. From my research there isn't a direct connection between the pancreas and the portion of stomach removed during gastric bypass so I'm confused as to how this works apart from reducing...

Well I doubt it will be good news, I'm sure it will be what I am expecting especially give how consistant my reading have been over the last few days. I'm expecting good treatment, my wife goes to the same doctor and I met him when she was pregnant, he seems nice and I doubt he'll be any...

Bullet bit :wink: I've got an appointment with a doctor tomorrow, not my usual GP, I requested a different one. I've continued with the testing and my fasting count was 13.4 this morning, not good I suspect but down from the 14.9 it was when I did it yesterday and I wasn't up and down in the...

I haven't been to the doctors about this recently but a couple of years ago I was diagnosed as being at risk of developing diabetes. Stupidly I didn't do anything about it and recently I've started to notice symptoms which were in line with high blood sugar. I have been in denial knowing that...

Thanks Guys It's pretty hard having hidden this from myself and others for so long. The appointment isn't for a couple of weeks and I'm wondering if to put my mind at rest it wouldn't be worth going to the chemists and getting a blood sugar meter, I know as a T2 it's unlikely that my GP will...

Hi everyone My name is Matt and I was diagnosed as tetering on the edge of Type 2 two years ago. I attended my GP for about 3 months and after that time I just stopped going, failed to respond to letters from the GP and effectively hid my head in the sand. My GP was pretty horrible about the...
