Message: <blockquote data-quote="kitedoc" data-source="post: 1866497" data-attributes="member: 468714">Hi [USER=488885]@Gemstone[/USER], I can understand why diagnosis is important but really the most important thing NOW at this point in time is surely how best to control your blood sugars.  Yes you need the ponderously delayed announcement of the interpretation of your anti-body tests before you travel as well. So request the appointment with your reasons or maybe ask your GP to sort it out.What is the point of letting you suffer the damage of higher than acceptable blood sugar without some plan to control them ?Putting you off about contacting them unless the 'magic' 15 mmol/l mark is reached is nuts in my view, not as a medic, but from being a type 1 diabetic for 51 years. Is this how individual members of your health team would treat a relative of their's?If you read the section on this website or [USER=9546]@daisy[/USER], you will see what the upper range of say, BSLs  2 hours post-prandial (after meals) should be.Why not demand treatment, get your health team off its collective back side to advise you.? By all means look at the diet sites on this website such as Low Carb diet and good on you for trying to do things for yourself like losing some weight.At this stage you do not know how long your blood sugars have been above normal range, and it is the high BSLs which cause damage. Best Wishes on lighting the proverbial fireworks under the Health Team!!</blockquote>
