[QUOTE="Walking Girl, post: 2116390, member: 510059"] Out of curiosity, do all diabetics in Germany get to see a diabetologist? In the U.S., appointments with an endocrinologist areby referral only, and a GP generally will not refer a T2 who “only” needs oral meds and/or basal insulin. Plus, wait times fro an appointment with an endocrinologist can be months out. So, the vast majority of T2s in the US are seen only by a GP. Which makes it all the more disturbing that they get so little nutritional training. Anyway, back on topic, I had a very high A1c at diagnosis of 11.8%, lost 92 lbs and my BG is totally normal these days even when I eat carbs. All my other blood tests also improved dramatically and are all normal, as well as my blood pressure. I assume, for me, it was obesity that was my main issue. I don’t see why that wouldn’t be the case for some others as well. [/QUOTE]
