[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2309396, member: 511345"] I think most comments have been along the line that the individual knows more about themselves and their specific conditions then the GP. I don't think this is really blaming g anyone. I know that I have more knowledge about type 2 than my doctor. despite the fact that I have been in the normal range sine my first HbA1c review with levels of 5.2 she has not taken on board the possibility that type 2 doesn't have to be a progressive disease nor is she okay with going low carb. If I hadn't found this forum and been able to learn more myself I would be in a world of pain. The advice I give all newbie type 2s is to get a meter. My doctor did not agree with my decision to get a meter the day of my diagnosis- she said it wasn't necessary. She is not interested in my readings and keeps suggesting I increase my carbs and having regular trays (carbs0 would not cause any issues. I have tried to educate her she has resisted. it is disappointing because until this I thought highly of her. I am now considering hanging ,my doctor to one that is curious about why my levels are normal and willing to help their other patients. [/QUOTE]
