[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 21920, member: 8110"] Welcome to the confusing world of diabetes medical "care" 3 months lifestyle modification, [u]following education[/u]! is the first step on the diabetes protocols of NICE. The education bit seems to get left out quite often. :) If that doesn't work, next step is Metformin. Eating a low carb diet isn't recommended by the medics, usually, but it's always worth a try, as it can't hurt and doesn't cost much. Did they suggest how you were to lose this weight? As most of us know, it's MUCH easier said than done. Remeber! Atkins, is perfect for overweight T2 diabetes. You could make a fuss and ask to see the Diabetes Educator. Your PCT should have one. West Berks (mine) has 2, but I don't know what they do, because West Berks doesn't seem to run any training, neither DAFNE nor DESMOND. If they have DESMOND, where you live, it has an excellent reputaion. It's a course for T2s. DAFNE is for people on insulin, mainly T1s. You could also download the protocol from the NICE website and take it with you to your health centre. You might have more luck if you hunt up a copy of Dr. Bernsein's Complete Diabetes Solution. It's a bible to many of us here. [/QUOTE]
