[QUOTE="Deleted member 527103, post: 2540998"] When a doctor blames diabetes on an ailment, I ask them to explain what the link is. When they start mentioning high blood sugars, I tell them my Hba1C and they usually change their mind. I don't do this in a "I want to catch you out" kind of way but more in a "I want to learn and not experience this in the future" kind of way which they seem to appreciate. I do the same when I take my car to the garage for a service and the mechanic tells me a need something replaced. I also do it with the phone scammers who tell me I need to replace my modem but I confess that is in a "I want to catch you out" kind of way. [/QUOTE]
