Did go through all the usual 'blah blah'...then to discussed the blood test results...'blah blah'.  And when I mentioned that only way to keep my blood sugar levels in check (as my medication on its own is not up to it) I have started to do fasting..14:10 seem to agree with me and also lowering my carb intake.WELL...he wasn't impressed..."WHY DO YOU DO THAT!" His eyes glazed over when I tried to explain.. obviously it wasn't interesting enough. And his response was "I do not blame you for your high reading, but we as medical profession are to blame for not giving you right medication".  He didn't get it that the whole point is taking LESS medication...'banging my head on the wall again'....he did managed to mention that he is not in business making profit by prescribing medicines, that NHS cannot afford it..(hmm...)Anyhow...in the end I did agree to change to some new medication...didn't agree to statins, AGAIN...didn't agree stopping my eating regime which has improved things a lot.In positive note, he was a doctor who wasn't shy saying things bluntly..so I could answer back to him with same manner and neither of us did take offence of each other..and he didn't seem to be in hurry neither!! But other than that I feel like I did waste nice sunny day..Time will tell what effect these new to me medicines have.BTW...sorry about ranting....I just had to get this off from my chest and already feel better about it...shame that so often I have to talk about doctors in such a negative manner...there must be some good ones out there...somewhere...</blockquote>
