[QUOTE="Rose22, post: 2301401, member: 509613"] I have had all nurses and GPs tell me not to test at home and not to do any low carb nonsense as it’ll make me ill. This is when I was originally told I was type 2. I did have one Gp who was temping I saw her saying I couldn’t tolerate metformin any more, my sugars are high and I feel ill... she told me to look at the diet doctor website and go low carb, that she did it lost weight and felt good. So she must be a very rare anomaly. But yes it is so disheartening to be smashing it and be fronted with ignorant dismissal. I’ve found the more I challenged GPs the worse it was! I was finally after 2 years referred to endo. Hey ho type 1! I think if your seeing fab results carry on, it’s your body your choice. Make use of the diabetes checks, hba1c, liver etc and feet eyes. They’d be a good indicator on how well it’s going. X [/QUOTE]
