Just back from a visit - completely unrelated to diabetes - to my GP. Once we’d discussed the issues I went for she brought up my weight loss and HbA1c results, congratulated me and wanted to talk more about what I’d done.
She wasn’t at all fazed by my mentioning low carb, and in fact I suspect she might also be as she talked about giving up sugar. She urged me to write up my story on ‘the diabetes site.’ I told her that I am a member of a great forum and clarified that it was this one and not the ‘other’ one. She replied “yes, that’s the one I mean.” She then asked if I’d be willing to share my experience at some group consultations they are running in the surgery for people managing chronic conditions.
So glad to have had the conversation!
