Sorry to hear your story but I understand and share your frustration.
I find my GP extremely patronising to be honest. I had read the research on the 'Newcastle Diet' trial which is was a vlcd clinical trial that has had great results for type 2 diabetics and thought a vlcd would be good for us to look into as an alternative to pumping me with yet more drugs esp as the diabetes.co.uk charity had sponsored the study. She replied 'yes everyone's seen those diet ads with Pauline Quirk and wants to get in on it, you'll just put it all on again so there's no point trying'.
Well for a start my query was based on a reading medical study, not watching a telly ad. Honestly I find going there makes me so despondent afterwards that I am frequently close to tears by the time I leave the surgery and find it so hard to motivate myself afterwards. So, instead of having the medical support I desired (and deserve), I have bought additional glucose testing strips and am doing this alone. Not ideal but I'm not prepared to give up on myself and rattle with yet more pills if I can find a way to treat the underlying cause of these problems - mostly my obesity!
