[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 209144, member: 33342"] Isn't it a sad indictment of the NHS that a HbA1C of 5.5% is regarded as "too low"? Write down all your BG scores and confront the nurse with them. Tell her that you have worked hard to get your HbA1C below 6%, and that you have no intention of opening yourself to future complications by going there again. In my experience blind faith of your Doctor, Nurse or any HCP is a certain route to trouble. Most of them are used to patients passively following their advice, and will react quite well to well researched reasoned argument. Lots of us T2s seem to be facing the same problem - as soon as you start showing good control they whip you off the medication. [/QUOTE]
