[QUOTE="Toby789, post: 2297324, member: 519716"] Those are all very good points. GPs default to T2 as a diagnosis unless you are young and DKA. To be fair GPs are overworked and cannot be expert in everything. They are meant to refer you to a secondary line of treatment ie an endocrinologist. It is important to read up on wikipedia and then ask questions of your doctor (informed questions , not questions about quack cures like apple cider vinegar or "enzymes" available on the web as then the GP will get frustrated as the internet has empowered a lot of folly lately). Add symptoms to your log too. Doctors find contemporaneous data most helpful as they can show longer term patterns. [/QUOTE]
