[QUOTE="Galathea, post: 867058, member: 161668"] I saw a the doc today, he says I am not diabetic despite my average bg being 8+. I am on a low carb high fat diet and have been now for three months.. The last three fasting bg tests he has done have been from a vein and have been 6.3, 7.8 and 10. My HBa1c. Has also been done 3 times.... 41, 42 and 44. I lost a stone but the weight loss has stopped. The 10 happened because I are two oat cakes at tea time the day before the test. I asked for the results of my fasting glucose test, which was done 10 years ago.... I felt terrible when I left the surgery, i drove home and arrived looking grey and shaky. Apparantly the blood glucose, after two hours was 3. I haven't had another test, I can't face it. I think I need a trial of metformin, I am worried that currently my bs can raise to around 15 with just the very smallest amount of carbs like a spoon of mashed potato or an oat cake. I have been and collected the forms today for a different doctors practice. I think its time to move. Am I right or am I deluded? I said to the doc I was worried about an auto immune version of diabetes. (LADA -I already have two auto immune diseases) and he said worrying would give me diabetes. My blood is currently over the range about 45% of the time, despite the low carb diet. Would really appreciate everyone's thought on this. Thank you ... G [/QUOTE]
