[QUOTE="curlyheadfreak, post: 91467, member: 10567"] You poor thing :shock: Can you get referred to a diabetes specialist unit in a hospital for your diabetes care? I'm type 1 so I'm not sure whether type 2s also qualify but I have had the best care from my hospital by nurses who know exactly what they're talking about (and are very quick to agree that GPs/practice nurses often don't know what they should about diabetes). I would trust them there with anything and I really enjoy going (very sad I know :oops: )! Although I find my GP very good in most respects, telling me over the phone I was diabetic was probably not the best move...as was telling me to come in and see the DN who would put me on some tablets as I was type 2. To be honest, looking back, at age 27 with a BMI of 19.5 and fasting BG of 19/post breakfast BS of 28 even I can see that type 2 was not that likely...as two weeks on the maximum dose of gliclazide with no effect at all on my BS confirmed!!! But since I've been with the hospital I've had no complaints at all. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
