[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2302571, member: 345386"] [USER=32937]@Ajax[/USER] - I'm absolutely not an advocate of going under the radar, with testing, or anything else. My feeling is, if we test, amend our diets, or whatever, and we see success, if we keep what we have done to ourselves, the medics will have it confirmed to them, by our omission/withholding information, that their recommended course of action has been successful, so testing/changes or whatever is indeed unneccessary. Where I have told medics my approach, and that I am self-funding, they haven't pushed back. I mean; how can they tell me how to spend my own, hard earned cash? They can't - provided what I propose is not illegal. Once I have then been able to show results (73>37 in 4 months, and always a chuck lower than 37 since), they have no grounds for arguments - especially when they review my overall health markers. I would rather not get into a charade of falsehoods or information drought with health care professional. I work on the basis I am more likely to need them in the future than they are to need me. I need a cordial relationship with them. For me, I see my journey, living with diabetes, or other health conditions, as being a mutual educational programme. [/QUOTE]
