[QUOTE="Sue192, post: 1758701, member: 439516"] Yup, almost exactly the same, including the surreptitious look in the direction of my stomach! I haven't seen him since diagnosis in September (our surgery doesn't have a DN). I ask for blood tests and these include the liver function test. I wasn't upset by his approach as it suited me but it won't suit others so I absolutely understand why you are confused and upset. But take heart - as [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] says, because you weren't given medication your hbA1c probably wasn't bad enough to warrant meds without giving diet and exercise a go. That's the message I gleaned from my GP. It's very early stages for you and you are definitely on the right track with giving up carbs and sugar. There is a lot of fantastic advice and positive support here :) [/QUOTE]
