Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seán mise" data-source="post: 2311190" data-attributes="member: 524562">That's great advice. Talk to people who have no idea about diabetes, reversing diabetes. I have had a major disagreement with mineExcerpt from conversation :Fad dietsInaccuracies of CGMExplanation of HbA1c this after I said I was fed up being patronised by GPs sending you home with a higher prescription and a pat on the back. At this point I got pretty angry.I have lost 16 Kg in 3 months, medication halved, A1C from 63 to 49.It should have been lower but I didn't renew the DEXCOM CGM without which none of this would be possible.I printed out the reports and posted them to the GPs. They can't give out email addresses in C21, and my attached letter Ave report have been scanned into my file and marked 'no further action required". I have spoken to several health professionals, one a renowned haemotoligist who played football with me at uni, and  who told me GPs know nothing about diabetes. And that I did the right thing by not waiting for 'medical' supervision. Next step- i don't know the implications of cutting medications again (or even if these are the right ones), or how much visceral body fat I have. The scanner in the gym reckons 13% and I am the same weight I was at 16.Next a dexa scan at €160, the dexcom for £450 again, and an endocrinologist at £??? Googling diabetic specialist gets me to clinics for people at the beginning of the journey or with severe complications. The Internet has little information beyond info that it can be reversed. But what happens on the last lap. But GP s are disinterested in reversing diabetes or have learned nothing new despite NHS/NICE REPORT 2018, thoroughly UNPROFESSIONAL. I have no ideaAny experiences in reversing long standing 15 years + diabetes warmly welcomed.Thank you.</blockquote>
