[QUOTE="zand, post: 2423600, member: 85197"] Again this is personal experience, sorry. It might help to explain the expectations of the medical profession though. I recently collapsed whilst out walking, pushing myself to get back to my fitness level of 18 months ago. Two experienced nurses stopped to help me. They asked if I was diabetic and if I was having a hypo. I said I was a diet controlled T2 and had never had a hypo in 10 years. They asked if I deliberately ran my BGs high so that I didn't hypo. I said No, I am well controlled and exercise doesn't lower my Bgs. I don't hypo as I am not on insulin and don't have reactive hypoglycaemia. If my Bgs start to take a nose dive my liver always helps out. They said I needed to be on insulin as I must be running my BGs too high. The idea that BGs could be controlled by diet was alien to them. I gave up and let my hubby assure them he would make sure I saw my GP. [/QUOTE]
