Thanks @Jaylee, I’ve even told them to have a look at dr Bernstein’s approach to try and help others or at least give the ones who want to do something about their diabetes the chance. Did they bother of course not. It’s like so many people are saying to me and dr Bernstein when he said about testing his own blood sugar to his then endo in the 1970’s who was at the time the head of the American diabetes association, I can’t have them doing that I need them to come and see me to have that done. Haha!! They need us poorly and reliant on them. The same as the big pharmaceutical companies we are just ££££££££££ I’m no good to my dsn or diabetes consultant thriving on low carb, fitter, stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. Apart from the insulin making me work harder splitting and stacking doses I’ve had really good outcomes. Just wears me down when I know it’s not quite working and there’s a possible solution out there.Hi again @Key_master_ ,
Going to tag in @robert72 . (While I remember it.) Haven't seen him on the forum for a few weeks. But he may pop in to help with his angle..
Personally, I can understand what you mean when the HCPs just don't get what your doing with diabetes managment..
I'm not quite as low as yourself on the carb count. (But this arrangement works for me.)
My new current DSN is pre-D & advocates a banana for breakfast & the baked spud for tea. Lol. Fair enough!
I just don't do em...
Not when I can have a fry up without the "usual suspects" or a spicy pork lettuce wrap..?
Your A1c of five point three is brilliant! Don't lose faith in yourself..
Your dsn is in for a shock then if that’s their approach, won’t be pre-D for long doing that, especially if not on insulin like they should be now or very low carb. I found baked spuds caused havoc on my sugars and not that much of a slowed down affect due to butter and cheese added either. Switch it up and take away the carbs and I’ll chew that protein and fat straight up quite quickly.
One of my breakfasts for example.
10g hemp seed, 10g chia, 8g walnut, 9 Brazil, 1g cinnamon and 150g alpro no sugar yogurt will power pack my sugars without sufficient insulin onboard and it’s like 6g carb total even less now alpro have a sugar free yogurt. the energy from the fat side of the nuts and seeds will go pow in a few hours not like that of supposed other fats that can be an 8 hour affair. again a small split dose is required for this as well.
