[QUOTE="Golferneil, post: 989739, member: 165749"] I'd like to add my two hap'orth worth. I met with my GP this week to review my six monthly bloods. His first word, no lie, was "fantastic." HbA1c down to 33 from 34, not a huge move, but considering where it started to have that stability proves that diet and exercise and cutting carbs really can work. In no real contrast, the locum at my previous six month appointment said, while reading the bloods, "why do you want your Hb results, you're not diabetic are you?" And then went in to the rest of the results, cholesterol, LFT's etc with a wry smile, which I shared. I guess you have to be lucky with your allotted GP, mine are pretty switched on. I've never been offered a statin, nor any other meds, I'm well over 40. In fact the only advice was no more sugar, and that advice is my mantra every day, along with low carbs, cauliflower rice, and courgette and carrot pasta and reading this site every day. So there are GPs out there who understand, are sympathetic and recognise your achievements, best advice is to keep looking, or educate the one you have. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
