Hello! Is it OK to post as a 'health professional'

[jack412]

It's just that 'medical professional' has a nice feel to it and was wondering at what point I could achieve such a statis.

It appears Andrew is a hypnotherapist so I guess he can call himself a "medical professional" as he makes a living out of his chosen field which is partly to do with the medical profession. Some people are interested in this field and some have had success with things like smoking cessation and phobias etc. I personally wouldn't use his services but there are those that would.
He is a new forum member and we ought to give him a chance. If later on we find more links to his practice or similar then further action would be taken.
Jack, doesn't matter what you call yourself, you always give top advice

But it isn't the 'oldest profession'

Don't see how that can help me?

That's why I said "some" ! Doesn't help me either

Authorised and under the supervision of a 'medical practitioner'

G'Day mate, welcome to the site as a qualified hypnotherapist providing an ancillary service

Oi stop it you lot - bickering needlessly, you got nothing better to do? Go pour some red wine. Give the guy a chance.

Call yourself a hypnotherapist then ? Up to you

In fairness I can't see that the OP would step out of line as he will be bound by the Code of Ethics for his profession:

Welcome. If you have useful advice and an encouraging manner I'm sure you'll find a place on here. It sounds like you have a sense of humour, which generally goes down well too.

Welcome Andrew if you survive this thread you will learn a lot here to help folks in general including yourself... and if you think they being hard on you, just be glad you are not a dr/consultant/diabetic nurse/general nurse.or full blooded member of the nhs.

Interesting...I'm a hypnotherapist too though cant say I've had any diabetic clients yet...though I've heard many clients do find it beneficial. I'm currently awaiting results for type 2 and I plan to use hypnotherapy to help deal with it. At the moment I can see how it could be useful for quite a few areas of diabetes management.

I worked as a registered nurse for a while (NSW, Australia) and worked in coronary care/ A&E and remembered managing DKA patients ---insulin drips/dextrose infusions/15
Min ketone testing/arterial blood gas (in the A&E as well as bedside) and treating hypos too (below 2.5) and doses on insulin (long acting, short acting), I have a bit of knowledge on standard procedures done in the hospital with extreme bgs but haven't really posted anything here from the conventional practice/give advice, as Im not qualified and is case to case basis too (better still to go to qualified doctor on medications etc)

Although I know what to do with very low and very high sugars it's the in between's (that's where I'm at!) that I'm not familiar with as we get diabetic patients that are really sick, it's still a learning process with low carb diet etc.....and wanted to go the prevention/controlling route first.

As long as you don't say " I'm a RN 'medical professional' you should do this and take that" it's all good to give your opinion of what you have done or link to something you have read of what you could do or take..
