[QUOTE="janeecee, post: 411227, member: 45332"] How can someone be prediabetic and told they are not at risk of diabetes? That is nonsense. I'm told that I'm not at risk because I'm low-normal weight, but when I mention my BG levels after meals I'm told they are 'normal' even if they go above the NICE guideline for T2! When I queried this with the practice nurse she said they would be high for a diabetic but they were fine for 'health', because I wasn't diabetic. :***: I can only assume that they see a lot of badly controlled diabetics with readings off the scale, and focus their attention on this group. The NHS support for diabetes is pitiful. There are no doubt excellent clinics dealing with complications and difficult-to-treat patients, but for the rest of us it's a pat on the head and go away! There is very little work going into preventing complications from what I can tell. Kathleen, can you share the details of the books here so that everyone could benefit. I'm sure there will be no problem if you post the details in public.
