[QUOTE="jackson cooper, post: 2681440, member: 585786"] Hey everyone, I had a bit of a puzzling conversation with my doctor recently, and I thought I'd share it here to see if anyone else has had similar experiences. So, first, my doctor told me that only type 1 diabetics should regularly test their blood glucose levels. Then, without missing a beat, they asked me what my highest reading was. It left me scratching my head a bit! To add to the confusion, they mentioned that if my readings ever go above 11, I should make an appointment immediately. Now, here's the kicker: I'm not even diagnosed as type 2 yet. I'm still in the pre-diabetic stage, according to my doctor, but I manage to keep my HbA1c low through low-carb eating and regular testing. Has anyone else experienced something similar? It's like I'm being given conflicting advice here. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. [/QUOTE]
