[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2083838, member: 480869"] They can only put you on meds if you agree to it! You’ve had a hell of a year as you say so it’s hardly surprising that something gave way. I hope things are looking better now. At your review you can discuss the reasons behind the rise and the fact that you want to restart the diet control. Perhaps agree a 3month review to see how that goes before committing to any meds. Many get that chance at diagnosis and I see no reason why this should be different unless there is some other medical urgency. Do you test yourself? If so a record of improving results between now and then could be persuasive if you feel the need to convince her. Or examples of changes you are making - but any mention of keto or high fat might scare her silly if unaware of the benefits - perhaps talking about removing sugars, refined carbs and processed foods and increasing veg etc. Personally I’d just say “no, not yet, I’m trying diet again first”. Edit to add : as tophat says you should really be on max of 6 monthly checks according to NICE and only if numbers are stable. Otherwise it should be 3 monthly. [/QUOTE]
