Hi inuk
Sorry to hear about your GP experience. I've had many bad and frustrating encounters with medics so I empathise.
Is it not possible for you to insist on a referral to an endocrinologist? I went in to see a previous GP and had no intention of leaving until I got my referral!
My most recent GP was a bit worried about prescribing me Metformin, although at least she had some knowledge, so was more than happy to move the responsibility to the hospital. An endo would be able to use the latest research to get you the right treatment.
I hope no one flames me for ageism, but I find the younger GPs are more open-minded personally.
Good luck
Karen
