[QUOTE="andcol, post: 912931, member: 96315"] I think you are agreeing with me. Many T2 are too lazy to change and find out. Most GPs do not keep up with current knowledge and just spout out the rubbish fed to them by governing bodies - is that not laziness? I suppose you could put it in the bracket of covering ones backside! When I was diagnosed I was given the standard DUK booklets and a prescription for met and told to book myself on a course. So actually the lack of direction could well have been the best thing for me but that is because "I have to know" drive. [USER=43498]@CatLadyNZ[/USER]. I think it is the responsibility for GPs to keep up with the latest knowledge of the biggest illness that is hitting the GPs at the moment. Surely if it is such an expense to the NHS they should all be spending money educating correctly to save money and not just lining the pockets of big corporations (pharma and food - pay for the drugs so that ill informed T2 carry on eating their pizzas and coke") As for reversing - well I do not control my HbA1c. I actually eat whatever I like now and have a low HbA1c. Do I abuse it - at times - but I now know about my food and what it does so not always [/QUOTE]
