- 1. No "low carb" or "zero sugar" aisles in supermarkets. 2. Sugary "low fat" foods.
Went to the surgery this evening. They are running sessions for diabetics and pre-diabetics. It's a fantastic thing to do, and I have to say I'm very grateful.
Unfortunately during the evening an NHS dietician said to me "We don't speak of giving up carbs", with a "If you were so smart you wouldn't be diabetic" scorn in her eyes. She had nicely laid out sugar-packed fruit juice for us, sweet strawberries, and carrots to dip in humous.
The NHS are just unwilling to get it. Carbs are sugar is poison. I can't see where the complication lies.
