[QUOTE="frustration, post: 1938430, member: 496171"] My HB1AC was 5.6 to 5.7. The Prediabetic diagnosis in Canada is a 6.0 I believe. Last time I met him he said it's a matter of weeks before I develop prediabetes. Maybe he forgot that I was that close to borderline my last test... I am maintaining a low carb (under 50 carbs a day) for most of the week, it's difficult, especially because I am south asian and everything we eat is eaten with rice or roti (wheat). I honestly don't understand why he is suddenly not taking it seriously anymore. Often he would point out the fact that I am over-weight and other doctors would strain it too. Now that I am nervous about diabetes and want to see my progress, he's acting as if I should simply just lose a few pounds and not worry about the diabetes. He is a doctor, so I am to listen to him but it really isn't helping my anxiety. Wow happy birthday to me, this is a terrible 16th birthday gift :( [/QUOTE]
