[QUOTE="Beebeelady, post: 1986598, member: 290937"] The same thing happened to me. I am prediabetic, and determined not to become diabetic if I can avoid it by making lifestyle changes. I went to see a locum GP some time ago, who reacted the same way towards me.Told me angrily that I should never test my blood sugar levels and talked to me as if I were a stupid child. I am 65. I was deeply upset. Then I ignored her. Now I do my own thing, test my blood if I want to, follow a low carb diet, and excercise a lot. No health professional should ever make you feel so bad and dis empowered. Carry on looking after yourself as the nurse is not looking after you. Have confidence in what you are doing! [/QUOTE]
