[QUOTE="84green, post: 2257886, member: 519256"] Hi. Try and turn it into a positive and the best way to do that is to go back with a lower HbA1c in three months. I have just reduced mine following diet (low carb) and lifestyle changes. You will too and, although you’ll still be diagnosed as diabetic, you’ll soon be in remission and your DN will see what you’ve achieved. Make a point of telling them it had nothing to do with anything they told you if it makes you feel better! My DN is very pleasant but ineffectual. She had never heard of the Newcastle Diet. Whether you agree with the diet or not, I would have thought someone whose job is to advise diabetics might have at least come across it. I found more help and useful advice on this forum than ever from my surgery. Spend some time researching here, take charge of your diet and lifestyle, and your DN will soon be an irrelevance in your life. One definite piece of advice. I don’t know if you self test but I would strongly recommend you do (ignore any GP or DN that says otherwise). By checking in the morning and before and after meals you will soon see your numbers coming down if you’re eating the right foods. [/QUOTE]
