[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2287793, member: 345386"] Now, please don't think I'm on your GP, or anyone else's side, but it could well be that with an A1c at just above the diagnostic threshold, your medical team thought you had quite enough on your plate with the mental health issues. If you think back to that time, I am assuming you were a bit low in yourself, how would you have handled a T2 diagnosis? Would you have been in a place to be able to handle it and move forward with dealing with it, or would it have felt like you'd been thrown in a pit, then boiling oil poured on top? It doesn't excuse you not knowing about it until you were in a crisis of a different kind. I'm just trying to think how it could have come about. Forgive me, but I can't recall if you have access to your full medical records, but if you do, you would be able to read the correspondence between the medics of the time. I'm so glad you have decided to focus on moving forward and that your wife seems reconciled on that. You've all had an horrendous time. Reliving it time and again, pursuing a piece of history that can't be changed could be exhausting. [/QUOTE]
