It's the first time I've actually seen her so she went through my history, noting the very high HBA1C earlier this month, and giving my tips on my diet - low fat, carbs at each meal, porridge for breakfast etc, even after I told her porridge sends my levels sky high!
I said that my levels had gone down a lot and I've lost weight, then told her I'd done it by lchf, she wasn't impressed and told me high fat it not good and went over the low fat diet I should be on!
But then she told me of a doctor she met recently who told her about the very overweight man with very high levels who he had put on a no-carb diet and who over a few months lost so much weight and went down to non-diabetic levels. So if they know this why keep on about the low fit?
I gave her a lecture on lchf, couldn't have done that before I joined this forum just a couple of weeks ago, so thank you to everyone for all the help! She sat there gobsmacked and said I should be teaching it to others, lol!
She is pleased how well I've done in such a short time though, and I've to go back in march, 8 weeks after my previous HBA1C to have another one and she said to call her if she can help at any time. Maybe I should've given her my number to call me if she needs help!
