I did some Googling and was pretty sure what the problem was, and then found this site. I bought an Accu Check meter and tested my BG one Sunday when I got up and the reading was 17, whilst my wife showed a 4.something. Did the same the following Sunday and it was in double digits again. I decided then to go seriously low carb to defeat the disease based on what I had found out on this site.Then I asked my GP for a blood test and the result was an HbA1c of 88, which wasn't a surprise as I knew already.As I already knew I had T2D the non advice given by my GP did not matter as I had a head start to reverse it.Whether or not I should have done something earlier. Well some urine tests had shown abnormal glucose for a number of years earlier, but I "passed" the OGTT I had in 2010. I guess I should have been more aware, but without searching out the information it is hard to know the potential damage you are doing to yourself.</blockquote>
