[QUOTE="Jon K, post: 1754944, member: 468182"] I think I need to give a big shout out to my GPs, practice nurses and admin support. I started out with a suspicious pain (later diagnosed as an inflamed liver) for which they sent me for blood tests and an ultrasound scan to make sure nothing serious was going on. The blood tests came back with an HbA1C of 58 and I was put on metformin and statins to bring it down as soon as possible. My GP's thinking was that I had no symptoms of diabetes so he wanted to get the sugars down before I started with anything. Within a few weeks I had been given an appointment at the local hospital to see a dietitian to talk through my nutrition. I'd also had an hour with the practice nurses to go through my medication and to check that I understood everything and I'd been for a eye test. The practice nurses set some targets for me to achieve over the next few months Within a few months I'd also been on a 1 day DESMOND course arranged by my surgery. After the 3 month review I was taken off all medication as I'd improved beyond the targets and had achieved normal blood levels and have continued to do so for 2 years. I didn't have to do anything other than ask questions - the surgery set things up for me and invites for appointments just arrived in the post or they phoned me. So I feel I've had excellent support from my GP Surgery - Moss Lane Surgery in Madeley Staffordshire and having read many horror stories in this forum I just felt I had to mention that there are good surgeries out there that are encouraging and supportive. On my last visit my cholesterol was 5.3 (just the total - the LDL was in the ideal range). My GPs view was that trying to fix that would almost certainly mean I'd mess up something else. His view was "you have a live a little". Jon. [/QUOTE]
