    Yes, get a second opinion.
    I'm not going to give you any medical advice but that sounds... odd. I would get a second opinion, for sure. I would not be comfortable with a doctor who prescribed medication right away and didn't even want to monitor it.

    Second opinion. BUT when you go in for the second opinion don't mention anything about the previous doctor's diagnosis. Just ask for the metabolic rate test to see if anything shows up as abnormal.

    This, definitely This.

    I personally wouldn't want an OBGYN to monitor anything other than my vagina.

    Granted an OB did monitor when I had gestational diabetes, but she was also a specialist. I was seeing several specialists during my horrid pregnancy.

    I would make an appointment with another doctor.

    If it's ringing warning bells in your head, you need a second opinion.

    Maybe your Dr's building a cottage, and just got back from a 3 day convention on MetS. (metabolic syndrome)

    On Monday I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, My Dr said I needed no medication, but was pleased that I was losing weight and exercising a bit. He reckons we can turn the diabetes around if I get rid of my stomach fat, as I am quite small around the hips and legs. I was determined that I wasn't going on medication, so this gives me more incentive to succeed.
