[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 739889, member: 66676"] I attended a conference last Thursday where an NHS Community District DSN said : "We often have people coming to our courses with all manner of impressions about what they should and should not eat, and we have to spend time unpicking this." First off that doesn't sound wrong or bad, except she then went on to criticise LCHF without understanding it. I quickly shot back that I'd lived the DAFNE / Eat Well life and it had led to retinopathy and suspected additional complications whereas since going LCHF I'd seen nothing but super BGs and I'd not felt so alive in decades. I also pointed out that the NHS dietary advice is a 'one size fits all' and that since it was developed UK 'normal' eating habits had changed beyond recognition. To her credit, she agreed with the sentiments and my suggestion that the NHS needed to overhaul its advice and guidance. [/QUOTE]
