Found this article healthinsight.org/2014/high fat low carb diet a gps tal.

Basically its about a Merseyside GP Dr. David Unwin - i have
only read the first 4 pages...

(and i apologise if others have already read this)

I just found it to be a positive change.. given the confusion i felt when recently dianosed.

I had my appointment recently with the DN, i had with The Forum guidance adapted my diet and used a meter frequently. I was dreading the appointment with the DN as i was unsure would she approve of my adaptation - even though i had lost weight (always had been a struggle) and my bg tests showed improvements. I felt able to suggest at least that for me it was obvious that Carbs had been my problem having seen this GP's tale i did feel that perhaps opinions will begin to change. I intend to keep going in the hope that my next appointment will be even more positive. I would just like to Thank all those who take time and trouble to help newly diagnosed and bewildered like me to find away to make sense of diabetes.
