As Lucozade has changed its recipe is there something else that I could use to do a DIY OGTT?

[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1702548, member: 114214"] Ok thank you. What are the pros and cons of being on the diabetes register and am I alone in not wanting to be put on the register? My reason for doing a DIY test is that I loathe going to the GP. I couldn't stand the patronising attitude of the nurse combined with all the blood tests I had to have for hypertension 5 yrs ago. I vowed I'd lose weight for good and sort the blood pressure problem out but although I lost the weight the BP didn't alter by sufficient and I take medication for it. I felt it was a stigma and a diabetes diagnosis would only compound the stigma. Am I ridiculous in feeling like that, do others feel stigmatised I wonder? At the same time I read that there are more fat people who don't have diabetes than thinifers who do. I don't know if this is in fact true? [/QUOTE]
