[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2471540, member: 85785"] There comes a time and place to insist you need specialist care. This is because of a GP not having specialist training and unaware of the symptoms when put together and very rarely know your medical history at all. Once diagnosed through Hba1c and other tests, because of a change in lifestyle symptoms will obviously change but the underlying cause will still be there. So the adjustment and the steps patients have taken is good, but having achieved so much, the overall change is either really good and it works. Or the change doesn't work, then there is the change that isn't enough. Or in a few too much. Most treatments and meds are designed to help with symptoms, but are never intended to cure the underlying cause. But that doesn't mean with the right help from an expert you can get healthier and be as healthy as possible. Even some advice may not be right and only discussion with a specialist or a GP can progress your changes from time to time. [USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER] you will never know until you ask and insist on a referral. They should not deny you a referral, it is justifiable and a correct course of medical care. We haven't got to that stage yet under Boris, so there is no wasting time. Take care. [/QUOTE]
