[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1632630, member: 160151"] Doctors only get paid if you are on meds to control diabetes... they prescribe it for everyone without seeing if you actually need it or not. I was diagnosed type 2 with hba1c of 85 at the age of 30... 165cm tall and 85kg... I too didn't want to look at a life of medication especially as I am intolerant to metformin so would be put on insulin. I went on the low carb diet (refused to take the metformin as they tried to put me on it even though I am intolerant) and within 4 months went to 65kg and hba1c 31. This year it was 32... you can turn it around... don't let them get you down. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
