[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1609323, member: 196898"] In the UK we have a legal right for access to our medical records after the date the Freedom of Information Act became law, As said here by others, you can request to view your details, and write them down, but where a surgery provides a service such as printing out data for you to take away, then they can levy a charge for this as a service. To go back to you original posting, I am a T2D on orals and diet, but 2 years ago my bgl was running higher than yours are now, and I was regularly registering above 32 mmol/l on my meter which is major, Like you I had no real symptoms, and felt fine, I was a little wider round the middle but generally lean and active. Not peeing abnormally, even during the night. My GP threatened me with Insulin so I took b***y big steps to take control myself. I changed my diet, and now 2 years later my daily average bgl is 6 mmo/.l and I rarely go above 8 mmol/l, So it is possible you can turn things around too, Indeed the drop in bgl after a meal would seem to indicate that your stage 1 insulin response is working well, and that you do have some active beta cells going for you. However, the rise overall might suggest that your basal (i,e,background) insulin response is either not working, or is being blocked by Insulin Resistance (IR), If it is not working then a basal dose of insulin may be one possible path, but if it is due to IR then a change in diet may be appropriate, We are not doctors here, and only specialists in our own unique condition i.e. ourselves.so you should do your own research and discuss with your GP. Mine became very supportive of me once I demonstrated I could change my results significantly by diet alone. The first bit of research I would advise is what is called Eat to Meter which is a techniqe that helps identify and show what food does to your body. You may shock yourself when you test a chinese takeaway for instance, You can then start to eliminate those foods that cause high bgl responses, and begin to see levels coming down. It is not an overnight process, though , especially if IR is causing grief. [/QUOTE]
