[QUOTE="clearviews, post: 111591, member: 20752"] My husband has just been to another doctor and put his concerns about his fasting levels and FGTT results. The doctor was about the same age as him and told him his own fasting levels were about 5.7 and he wasn't worried so my H shouldn't. Said a specialist has only one recourse in this situation and that would be to put him on Metformin and his figures do not warrant that. He also said that his extemely low figures just proved that his system was well able to cope with a large influx of glucose. Husband said that his mention of recent low carbing fell on deaf ears and the doc just didn't register that. He also said that the parameters had been revised and all was within normal range. That just doesn't make sense when his first fasting test was 4 years ago and way back then the pathology lab showed an "H" beside it and all subsequent results and noted that "high fasting levels had been noted in previous tests". He is going to continue the low carb route he began 4 months ago as he has noted many other health benefits to him. [/QUOTE]
