[QUOTE="Ka-Mon, post: 188113, member: 27697"] After reading so many damming reports about HCP's/Diaticians on this forum I am now asking myself if we are living in different countries in different times? :? Apart from one person who was just a learner at the time no one has ever told me to eat "loads of carbs", not my GP nor the dietician I saw a couple of months ago. I've always been told to watch the sugar and the carbs and only eat what my body can handle. Having said that, one diabetes nurse did try to tell me that maybe I cut down the carbs too much, because I want to eat all the time, and said that maybe I should take some other meds together with the Metformin but even she admitted that we are all different and we need to test and finsd out what and how much of it we can safely consume....mind you that was just after she said that Type2's only needed testing twice a week. :? I think she was a little confused and in the end decided to agree to let me decide what and how much I should eat. The dietician I saw though, was a very young, in her early 20's :?: , lady and she really was good. She explained the need for carbs but warned that I should test and see for myself how much I could consume without my BG going high. All in all I've had good experiences with all the HCP's I've met since diagnoses so I really can't understand why so many people complain. I can only assume that those who do complain are the ones that do not get the advice they expect or want. This really brings up a very, for me at least, important question....if people know what they want, why, willingly, go and get advice they know they are not going to get? :? PS: I hope I am not offending anyone with my above remarks, that's the last thing I want but I am just curious as to why people just don't stick to what they know works for them and go see a dietician/Diabetic Nurse only to get the wrong advice and get upset about it?
