[QUOTE="pavlovsdog, post: 665856, member: 132394"] Sadly I have found many Practice Nurses who have very little insight and a lot of outdated knowledge. One of my nurse's advice was 'dont take sugar in your tea' and that I shouldn't 'blame' other medical conditions for my difficulties in losing weight. I don't drink tea, I have never used sugar in drinks since I was about 14 years, and I have a number of long term conditions which predisposes me to weight gain, not to mention the stack of medication I take, of which one of the side effects are - you guessed it - weight gain! I am well aware that I have to take responsibility for my own health, but this sort of patronising rubbish really annoys me. I refuse to see her now; fortunately the other two nurses are a bit more understanding [/QUOTE]
