"Why not just skip the HbA1c tests? After all, you know they'll give you insulin. Just start taking it."

Do you think everyone with poor blood test indicators is aware of how unhealthy they are? How quickly they need to reverse course? Or do think there might be some possible validity to discussing your results with an actual doctor and understanding how acute your symptoms actually are? Do you think there are no side effects to statins and everyone should just be on one at all times, forever? Do you think there might be some value, for those patients, in discussing GLP-1s? Or nah, everyone can just like, go run 10 miles tomorrow because some 20 year old in SV said so?

I'm always deeply confused by people who think all medicine is "just repeat whatever ChatGPT said as if it's profound, like, duh - I'm smart and invincible and can't quite figure out that other people aren't me", in spite of them not knowing anything about medicine in the first place.
