[QUOTE="mariab, post: 199064, member: 35160"] Helllo Everyone I went to my GP today for him to confirm that I've got type 2 (I already had my results). I was so upset by his attitude that I spent most of today in tears! He said he had warned me in the past about my weight so now I'm another statistic and must get into the system. He offered no advice other than lose weight and told me to make an appointment with the Practice Nurse. The first appointment I was offered was 15th July! I told him that I knew I was likely to have a positive diagnosis and that I had been reading up and looked on this website and he said it was a load of mumbo jumbo and wouldn't get me off the hook (losing weight). My weight has been an issue for the past 18 months and I have continously battled with it. He also said I didn't need to monitor my own blood. He prescribed metaformin 3 x 500mg per day and said that at least one of the side effects was weight loss! He also offered me anti-depressants and a paper for work! Has anyone else had this sort of treatment? I feel really low now and can't seem to pick myself up. :( [/QUOTE]
