Just had a visit with my NHS Dietitian.
Whilst congratulating me for going into "remission" and lowering my HBA1c from 85 to 38 in just over 4 months, he did not like the fact that I changed my diet to an extremely low-carb and very healthy diet.
He said my fasting blood glucose readings between 4 - 6 mmols/l are false and I'm cheating.
He also emphasized to me to eat "normally" and stressed out that the NHS does NOT agree with low-carbing and it's strongly NOT advisable.
So I was sitting there in his office thinking this is just another waste of my time and while I was listening to his sermon, I saw a book sitting on his desk about "Carb and Calories", the best selling book on counting carbohydrates and calories for Diabetics!!!
Absolutely confusing!!!!!!!
This is what we have to put up with as diabetics. He obviously does NO reading other than that to back up his outdated ideas..........
Stick to what you're doing and tell him to go take a hike. Low carb works and is NOT dangerous.
The establishment just love to frighten people.
Unfortunately most dieticians just spout the usual 'healthy eating' guidelines, which are anything but.
Keep on with the low carb, youre doing fantastically well with it.
