[QUOTE="~Noodles~, post: 2215282, member: 512442"] I certainly did. I came down from an HbA1c of 9.9% (85 mmol/mol) upon diagnosis to 5.7% (39 mmol/mol) now through carefully watching my metabolism, self-discipline and getting as much info about my condition as I can. So here I am, finally getting a great result and the doc just nods, slightly concerned. :wideyed: They really know how to motivate their patients, don't they? Nowadays, it's not about proper treatment anyways, it's all about CYA. All is well as long as they aren't liable. And they'd rather have you go blind or lose a foot because, well, that's just a "normal" thing for diabetics. But if you were to drop into a deep hypo while they're managing your treatment, they're in for a beating. Heck, I monitor my BG 24/7 with a Libre and hand them the printouts showing just how tiny the standard deviation is. I doubt any of it is really entering their thick skulls. :shifty: All I can recommend is that you remember that you're doing this for yourself, so celebrate your efforts. Whatever you do seems to working just fine, so you must be doing something right. :) [/QUOTE]
