Yorksman said:"It must be recorded that many individuals expressed frustration at the routine manner in which their doctor, nurse or dietitian regarded the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. This conflicted with the cataclysmic blow which they personally felt. They were told that the diagnosis was clear and therefore the guidelines will be rolled out. Lose some weight and take this metformin. Get used to it."

. . . I literally am not allowed to drive (or any diabetic for that matter) with a reading of 5.4 or below. That's actually the law.

Maybe technically this is the ideal target range, maybe it works for some, but I literally am not allowed to drive (or any diabetic for that matter) with a reading of 5.4 or below.

You may ask him to clarify that because 4 - 7 mmol/L is the pre-prandial range with the 2 hour post prandial reading being under 9 mmol/L, at least according to this http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care ... anges.html
When he says 7, he may mean your pre prandial whereas you may be thinking he means post prandial.
