[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2325001, member: 521079"] I've been diabetic over 10 years and in all that time NHS advice has been not to test for type 2 (except where drugs can cause hypo, and even then outside of insulin it's hit and miss if you get prescribed) Why they don't want you to is unclear. Maybe they are worried about hypochondriacs? Maybe we should ask them why when it's self funded But some doctors are okay, mine is happy to test whilst I am coming off my drugs. The weight loss and plummeting hba1c to be fair did help. Whether another doctor agrees is different though. But gp are not experts, hence the "general", sometimes we have to train them a bit But yes, it's our health and we can take control. [/QUOTE]
