[QUOTE="gizmo girl, post: 546532, member: 109685"] Hi. About 7 weeks ago I had a GTT, on my return visit to my GP for results I walked into his office & all he said was "we need to talk about these results. Your results are high your now diabetic. Have you got any questions?" Dumbfounded I replied "no" "ok" he said "you'll recieve a letter in the post for an appointment with a dietician. Bye" That was it!!!!! I've since had that appointment but am still none the wiser!!!!! I've been told not to bother cutting carbs not to change my diet, although over the past few months I've put on loads of weight. No info about hypers or hypos. Just put on 500mg metformin to start with & check BS twice daily which seem to range from around 9.8 - 13.5 before food. Does anyone have any advice please? Thanks in advance Sam [/QUOTE]
