Re: GP says I'm Cured!... update Hi all, I have now been back to my original GP to get some clarity over the "cured" issue. He would not go as far as cured but preferred to say "resolved" and when I asked him what had been put on my records, he said resolved "and there is a code for that"...

Thanks for the replies, I intend to book another appt with the GP that originally diagnosed me (he seems to know his stuff). He will probably back up the other Dr but I will insist on a GTT and thanks for the advice re carbs beforehand. Borofergie, nothing magical with the diet. Pretty much...
