Ie the full benefits cannot be seen yet and if you maintain the changes you have made it will get better still.   Your dr should know this and I’m shocked he wants to act now rather than see the improvements you’ve already made.I’d strongly argue for a 2 month delay and a retest at that point to see the full effect of the changes you have made. Even at that point all the dr can do is recommend medication. It is your choice whether to take it or not.  In fact I’d refuse it outright for now and say if he retests in another 2 months and you haven’t made the improvements that seem likely will happen then you’ll reconsider.  I doubt you’ll meet the criteria then and to be honest you barely do now. Most drs would advise lifestyle changes only at 49mmol.it seems confusing he didn’t want to use it before but he does now ……..</blockquote>
