I have been type 2 since 2000. Lately I can not seem to control my numbers. Have been to DR 3 times about it. No meds!!!! Here in Canada they seem to think if your Hba1c is reading non-diabetic or below 6% you do not need meds. It seems to be the way all DR's are thinking here. I have talked to others about this and they say their DR feel the same way. I actually was going to join a study of combined drugs--metformin and altace but the endo said because my Hba1c was normal I was not exceptable and just to keep doing what I am doing and try to forget the higher readings. What do you all think of this!!!! Any one from Canada getting the same story. Is this the new way of thinking in USA too????
