[QUOTE="melissa1743, post: 1473485, member: 397896"] Hello Seagal75, I'm afraid I have no advice for you as I am only one month since I was diagnosed. I did want to say though that my experience with a doctor (well in my case nurse) mirrors my own exactly, I actually felt like she was reading from a script and could not interupt with questions, or comments. I too felt completely patronised and came out realising I am no longer an individual but just a HbA1c. I was told not to test my blood sugar levels (what????) and so like you bought one myself. And like you I am trying to low carb diet rather than medication - though I was told to take metformin. Anyway, just wanted to say you are not alone because I am on the same confusing and frightening journey so if you want to message me feel free. Best wishes to you. [/QUOTE]
