50 years ago, even 30 years ago your Doc would have just looked at you and your life style and made a common sense decision. They can't do that now.
Yes, a lot but things that needed doing.

The doctor - well, in a converse sort of way, his decision probably helped. It put my mind at ease about the probability of getting diabetes. But is does nothing to restore any trust I have in him.

In my view 'trust' is very important in a doctor / patient relationship. When we moved here (Just over 3 years back) I ended up with a brilliant young doctor who sorted my knee, gave me some cream for my foot, and she found the right medication for my heart, none of which the previous surgery could do having seen a load of 'locums' different one each time I went in there
