Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="rosserk" data-source="post: 871371" data-attributes="member: 166333"><p>Hi, thank you, I've read the link and I'm sorry I'm going over old ground I'm just at a total loss what to do. My Doctor has refused me any alternative tests, he has categorically stated the A1c test was normal and he won't request any further tests. He even wrote on my notes that he has told me I do not have diabetes and that I remain unconvinced. He absolutely refused to look at the printouts of my blood sugar readings. I can't make him order any tests and if I go to another Doctor in the practice the first thing they will see is that comment on my notes. I feel like I'm going nuts! I take on board everything people on the forum have told me and I'm not ignoring anyones advice, it's just not that easy to force a Doctor to change an opinion he's absolutely convinced is correct. In the area I live in its difficult to get into a practice. If I try and change practices I could find myself without a Doctor and left using the local drop in centres where they definately won't order any tests. I'm in a no win scenario waiting to get sicker so someone will actually do something to help me and at the moment the only people I can ask for advice are on this forum. I've lowered my carbs as advised but though that worked for a while I'm now seeing higher post meal readings than I was before so I can only assume I'm getting worse. I'm conscious people are getting frustrated with me but not sure anyone could honestly say they've had a similar experience. For example my Doctor told me that if you eat cereal for breakfast it's no wonder your blood sugars spike afterwards, but then I read that if you're a non diabetic blood sugars will never exceed 7.8 no matter how many carbs you eat and the body will restore them to normal range in a very short space of time. I told my Doctor what I had read and he said stop reading things on the Internet because what I had read was wrong! I'm stuck between the Rock and the Hard Place going out of my mind...</p></blockquote><p></p>
