[QUOTE="Gary1205, post: 947668, member: 188342"] Thanks Robbity, I did stand up to him and say I would be continuing to test as I currently do because it is working for me. As they say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Agree with you totally waiting for the HbA1c test is too late. Thanks for your kind and supportive comments CatLady. I do know deep down that it has been down to my efforts in change of diet and lifestyle, but sadly as I say it really was his approach as if he did not believe anyone could be so focused as I have been that knocked me for six. The DN described me last time as the practice's star patient following my then weight loss of almost two stone and the reduction from 98 to 47 in three months for my HbA1c. So maybe other diabetics in the practice i use do not take as focused approach as I have and perhaps that may explain his reaction as he is maybe unused to seeing someone take their condition so seriously. My late father was a T1 had kidney failure, a leg amputated and other diabetes complications and was taken from us too early at the age of 58, so have seen first hand what can go wrong if I do not look after myself now, so that is probably why I am very focused and did say all this to him as well. Any how, thanks to all for your continued support, next blood test this coming Monday so hope to be able to report more good news on the HbA1c and cholesterol front next week.
