[QUOTE="Eurobuff, post: 2308724, member: 113391"] Because of coronavirus my diabetes review is on hold, but I’ve noticed that my GP has put on my notes to speak with me once reviews are back on to put my diabetes (type 2) as in remission. My question is can he do this if I don’t agree/accept it? I am on a low carb diet, so my control is good, but I do get highs and more importantly I do get lows. Probably more lows than highs. They are “genuine” lows as I do get dizzy etc. I suspect that as the hba1c is an average, this is giving me the “non diabetic” results (40, 42, 36 mmol). I know this is probably a cost saving exercise on his part. I am on a (non diabetic) tablet which causes the lows. So I am also prescribed test strips and a meter. He mentioned previously about trying to stop the tablet then he wouldn’t need to prescribe the test strips as well. My line of thinking now is that if he puts my diabetes as “in remission” then he will be able to stop the test strips as I’m “not diabetic”? [/QUOTE]
