[QUOTE="pinkjude, post: 2389722, member: 530880"] I am type 2 and when my HBa1c was 55 back in October last year she said lets see what its like in 12 months although I may have you back in 6. Try not to let it get over 58 or you will have to go on medication. I asked for suggestions to get it down, was told just eat a healthy diet. No help. Told me to swap eggs for breakfast for shredded wheat which I now realise isnt great advice. When I thought my levels were rising in February I contacted the drs and was Sent for a blood test. When they rang me to tell me it was 84 anbd virtually blamed me for it I got quite angry. I said you get a test, no help with diet, told not to monitor at home and wont provide a meter. How am I supposed to know my levels are rising. Their answer then is medication. I said its almost as if you want diabetics to be a burden on the NHS. The DN rang me and was much nicer and said pick up the prescription but you can hold off taking the tablets and try diet and exercise for 3 months. Again no help or advice. So I came on here for help and also joined the NHS low carb programme for type 2's. Lots of very friendly, helpful people on here [/QUOTE]
