[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1165307, member: 93179"] There's n old thread somewhere on this topic which should also make for interesting/entertaining/frustrating reading. My own favourite (which I've posted about before) was when I saw our practice so called diabetes "expert" for my review: I'd taken in printouts of my test results - which to his credit he was actually interested in - but then spouted the usual "type 2s don't need to test"... though it would be OK if I continued doing so as a hobby... :wideyed::D:D Fortunately for both him and me it was a one time only encounter, as since then my general GP has now also become my diabetes support contact, and he's never had any issue with me testing. And my husband (who ought to know better) has come out with some real dozy gems regarding sugar, and has become an instant expert who doesn't believe I have any understanding of what my LCHF diet entails when [B]he's[/B] actually proved himself to be quite clueless.
