[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1625277, member: 438800"] Here's one case of providing "support" and putting off the "treatment" part until a more appropriate time later. After my most recent diabetes appointment, as the doctor and I were walking down the corridor on the way out, he told me about a patient he had seen recently, who like me had been well-controlled with diet only. But at the most recent test, that patient's HbA1c had come back at nearly 13% (119). Patient: "What am I going to do? I'm getting married in a few days and going on honeymoon!" Doctor: "Congratulations! Get married, go on your honeymoon. I'll see you afterwards and we'll sort it out!" [/QUOTE]
