Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllisB" data-source="post: 2540980" data-attributes="member: 66472">When you have well-managed diabetes it is just lazy to blame other conditions on it.However, diabetes has widespread effects so the priority must be to bring it under control. That takes teamwork between us and the medical team.That said, some conditions require a timely response. My GP has been working to rule out other causes for my weight loss and high BG, including getting a CT scan.Ask your doctors politely to rule out any other causes. If they refuse and it turns out they got it wrong that is malpractice.But don't forget, much of the work of a GP is treating symptoms.  If the treatment is the same,blaming it on diabetes will do no harm.</blockquote>
