Help I need your help because my doctor won't support me

Oh Dear!
another one with a God complex
I can suggest you keep a food diary for a week and a record of your tests. If he still won't believe you, change your doctor.

Hi Laysan.

What Hana has said is very good advice. What your GP stated is unacceptable, what he knows.... :?: well we might have to just wait and see ?

Have you had an Hba1c test? This will show your average blood levels over the last 3 months. From this your doctor will be able to see how well you have been controlling your bg levels. If you have already had one done ask for the result.

i don't expect your Doctor is a diabetic, I am and you are. I know they do get lied to, but they shouldn't assume everyone is lying.
Your food diary and HbA1c will support you. I would ask for an apology when you have those to show in a couple of weeks.

Personally I would be surprised if there are many people out there who wouldn't get an elevated blood sugar reading two hours after ingesting 75g of pure glucose!

Yes it may well act as a test to indicate the development of Diabetes, but it has no bearing on your day to day functionality as a Diabetic. That is what the HbA1c is for.

Unless the HbA1c indicates that the Diabetes is dangerously uncontrolled, then diet should be the first port of call with another HbA1c taken three months later to see how well it is being controlled by that means.

I have parted company with my Diabetic 'Specialist' because quite frankly, I have lost faith in the man and have far more confidence in my own understanding of my own body and my own Diabetes.

Learn what you can about it all - the more you understand it, the more confidence you have to stand up for yourself.

You have come to the right place. The greatest benefit you can have is to follow a low-carb regime and ditching the extremely damaging gluten grain foods is by far the best thing you can do. Very few people out there realise the damage this awful stuff is doing to them. We all love bread, cakes and biscuits, but they don't love us.

The GTT confirms you are diabetic. It gives no guide to treatment.

Your GP probably doesn't know anyone with post prandial blood sugars as high as 20 who CAN manage without medications. He also will not know anything better than scaremongering stories about low carb diets. You have the opportunity to show him what you can do. Bring in your record books and show him.
