[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2167880, member: 401801"] *sigh*. Yeah, me neither. I think the GP assumed the specialist who discovered my prediabetes had told me (he hadn't), so it never came up. but it'd been in my file for years. T2 came as a surprise here too. A lot of docs just start treating you when you cross the threshold, never mind avoiring T2 all together. But, well, here you are, and here we are, and thank heavens for that! Thing is, this is a place where you'll find a LOT of people who've been dealt the same hand as you have.... And quite a few of us have gotten our numbers down into the normal range. Meaning little to no medication, no complications, and no progression of the condition. So here's what you get to do now: Show the GP that you can work miracles. It's a lot to take in, the diagnosis, and the implications for your future, but.... There's [U][I][B]hope[/B][/I][/U] here too. Here's a quick-start-guide with everything I wish someone'd told me when I was first diagnosed, [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] and when you've taken some hope from that, you can go to this place's low carb program, the dietdoctor.com website and Dr. Jason Fung's The Diabetes Code. You're going to be okay. You can tackle this, as you would have if someone'd bothered to tell you what was going on. Get your HbA1c down (that test they administered twice these few months), and watch their jaws drop. *HUGS* Jo [/QUOTE]
