[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2095733, member: 355878"] You say that you love potatoes - but do they love you back? If you are a type two diabetic then it is the starches and sugars in your diet which are the problem - but a far bigger issue is how much do you want to get back to normal levels of blood glucose and maybe lose some weight (which can be so easy eating low carb foods). My surgery don't seem to care much either - but I just changed my diet and I am officially in remission now so I don't need attentive doctors or specialist help. I take tablets for my failed thyroid - but I just ask for a repeat prescription. If you want to continue taking tablets you could write and ask to be changed to the extended release version if you are not on them - if it is not on your next prescription point that out and ask for it to be corrected as an emergency - surely you can go to the surgery on the Fridays you are not at work to collect prescriptions. Type twos are rarely monitored - we do not need to test according to the NHS guidelines - but it is possible to get low cost meters and test strips mail order, and it is a good idea to see just how high some foods push blood glucose.
