It does seem quite possible that the 74 was someone else’s result doesn’t it. Especially with the different reference numbers and it having been lost then found.

And with the consistency of the results you have seen since, it seems quite likely that you may never have had diabetes at all - though I completely understand your concerns with the family history side of things.

The metformin question is very personal, but I’d be intrigued to see how I got on without it in your shoes, even if just from one A1c to the next.

Hi, a big part of the relationship with GPs is trust and for me that is now shot to pieces. My thinking is stay on the metformin, if i am diabetic and the met and my diet (which wasn't changed after diagnosis) is helping or it is doing nothing at all. Not ideal. May be after the next blood test (6 months) I will feel a bit confident for a reduction. Lesson learnt always ask questions to GPs, especially when they reach for script pad in a nano second.
