[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1492808, member: 24561"] Its irritating that you had to pay for the same kind of 'advice' that you would have got on the NHS - like you I would have expected better and I definitely think that if you're paying for them he should have done the tests you requested. It sounds to me like he's following the usual guidelines. I think [USER=410240]@ringi[/USER] is right in that most health care professionals don't expect their patients to take an active part in their health care - most people are happy to sit back, take the tablets and then carry on as they did before with their diabetes getting progressively worse. From personal experience I know that even people that know T2 can be controlled with diet will still carry on like before including a beautiful, vibrant young woman (I used to work with her) whose BG runs in the mid to high 20s. She thought I was absolutely nuts eating a low carb diet as she 'couldn't possibly live without her carbs' - and she knew the possible complications! [/QUOTE]
