[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 544915, member: 55195"] I guess we sort of agree to disagree. I totally understand that you want a definitive diagnosis but treatment and dietary advice won't change. As for GP's hearing of it, again, it won't change things. Many doctors now refer to patients as "insulin dependant" or "non insulin dependant" diabetics. I think the reason why it's not universally acknowledged in the UK is that it doesn't really matter. As an example, if you broke your arm, there are at least 6 different types of breaks, would it help that you knew which one it was or would you just be happy to get put in plaster ? OK, random example but there you go. I only give my opinion and I'm not saying you're wrong. Each to their own :-) [/QUOTE]
