[QUOTE="alsida, post: 335849, member: 43794"] I really understand your concern here. I was diagnosed as a T2 diabetic on 31st May last year. I was told I had 3 months to sort myself out. I was diet and exercise controlled and after 3 months I was hba1c 5.8. In October this year had my annual hba1c and it was 6.3 - but apparently I am no longer diabetic, I am pre-diabetic. I have lost my eye screening, test strips, my annual review - everything. I was furious but the docs say I should be pleased. But, if I was diabetic at 5.8, surely I am at 6.3 :? Please keep us updated if you find anything else out. All I have managed to find out is that the levels for classification have been changed. The medics seem to think that I should be really happy about this revelation :x However, I still have a few test strips left and randomly check my BG - this morning when I got up it was 9.3. Is that normal? I really wish you well in your quest for answers, and sympathise with the resistance and difficulty you will encounter from the medics. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
