[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1601209, member: 100904"] Unfortunately many HCPs do have that stereo typical view of the reason people develop T2. This can lead to narrow minded attitudes, and blaming the patient. Don't fall into that mindset. As you point out you do not fit that description. Nor do many of us. You will most likely be told at the appointment that you have a progressive condition, that will lead to medication for life. Also that you do not need to test your blood glucose, and that you should eat healthy carbohydrates at each meal. Many of us have followed that advice and continued to see increasing blood glucose levels despite adhering to advice from HCPs. Many members here have found that by monitoring their own blood glucose responses to various foods they are able to work out for themselves which foods to avoid. By doing so they are able to disprove the theory that they have a progressive condition, and come off or avoid the need for diabetes meds. [/QUOTE]
