By all rights, I have my diabetes well controlled. My sugars are running in the low-80's consistently and I'm getting a handle on which foods spike me and reducing/adjusting my carbs accordingly. As a result, my A1c has steadily decreased from diagnosis to a 6.1. I'm shooting for a sub-6 at my next in March. Thanks largely to my own research, this board and a db education course I'm completing, I feel well informed.
My GP is fairly knowledgeable, but I question his decision not to put me on Metformin at diagnosis (375 mg/dl) and he sometimes "forgets" I'm a diabetic. (I stay on top of it and make sure I ask lots of questions).
So the question is this, is it worth the time, effort and money to meet with an endo and review everything I've done to this point? Since endo's are better trained in the management of the disease, is it worth it? What are the benefits I might get?
Appreciate the input.
