[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1602272, member: 220230"] Hi [USER=446721]@DodgyD[/USER], my experience would suggest you may be wasting your time in returning to the UK, from the perspective that regular follow up visits and check ups don't appear to be necessary. Although a definite diagnosis and tests to rule out other possible conditions would be prudent and hopefully put your mind at ease. I was diagnosed with RH approx 2 years ago now and unless I request blood tests (for example A1C or cholesterol etc) during a GP visit, they don't get checked. I guess this is due to me not being registered as diabetic and I therefore don't get the regular checks that a diabetic patient would. I manage my own condition through eating a significantly reduced carb diet, but not low carb as others on here do. I have more energy than I have for years (although still have the occasional off day) and don't experience anywhere near as many of those horrible dizzy, sweaty, anxious, jittery spells that were a daily occurrence in the early days. This is of course just my experience. Others in the U.K may well get a better level of care than I do. Unfortunately, this seems to largely depend on how good your GP or Endocrinologist is. I hope you find some answers and start to feel better very soon. [/QUOTE]
