[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 206741, member: 31362"] I agree completely with borofergie. My appointment with the dietician was almost identical. She was late, and the "consultation" consisted of showing me pretty pictures of plates of food piled high with spuds. She told me I didn't eat nearly enough potatos (and that was BEFORE I went on a reduced carb diet) Notably, she was quite obese herself, so not a great role model. My meeting with her was just before christmas, and she ended with "If you want a few mince pies, you have some. You need to enjoy yourself" I'm glad I wasn't testing over Christmas. When I did test on her diet I was often at 13+ with my BG, and nearly always in double figures. Now I've worked it out for myself, and eat well but properly, I rarely go over 8, and am normally below 7. I'm on diet only. HbA1c now 5.5. I'm sure there are some properly trained dieticians out there who understand the effects of different food types on different med or no-med regimes, but it would be nice to have been told more than "eat lots of fruit and veg and you'll be fine" [/QUOTE]
