Have a hypothesis that medical testing is finding illnesses so we never go off their market
My mother is diagnosed with Grade 4 liver damage today. She also has Type 2 diabetes which "does not subside" She doesn't eat any sugars, cut out starch, very very occasional outside/packaged food, no alcohol, has been working (job and household), works around clock in the house Taking allopathic medicines for diabetes, now may start diet restrictions for Liver damage too Strongly feel she is being mis-diagnosed. The hospitals and diagnostic centre are trying to milk healthy people too. How else do you keep up revenue Have you faced similar situations? What can be done here? P.S. Most of the doctors we have met are big C, the ones who sound genuine are the ones not treating 😪
I don't think she is being misdiagnosed T2DM patients usually dosent respond after some time so if HbA1C is greater than >9 then better to start on insulin if 3 drugs fail to respond
The best way to treat T2DM is automatic insulin adminstration pump which cost about 3 lakhs but is the best.
Live damage is also due to DM
Her HbA1C is 10, but Fasting sugar is around 240-250 only. No high spikes
Very extremes

Always get second and third opinions for medical stuff. Even running your blood levels through chatgpt is good enough for basic analysis.
Luckily we have a family doctor that we have been seeing since my grandfather's time. Very honest and changes less if we are struggling financially. He's also famous for treating people from my village as well.

Medical mafia is too real. They will do anything to retain the patients. Infact, look around, if you are froma T1 city you can notice a big explosion in the numbers of testing labs. The thing is people who could become doctors are now getting into testing business.
About doctors lesser said the better.
