Saw my doctor last week and felt I’d been told off for following a low carb diet. She told me my body needs carbs and how important they were and I wasn’t helping myself by following low carb WOE. It was almost as if I was confusing my results, which is probably confusing her.
I asked, bearing in mind my Hba1c has been low since three months after diagnosis, what I’m supposed to do in her opinion. Eat more carbs apparently. I explained my BG would be in the late teens if I even eat a slice of bread she was suggesting, and she said well it may be time to move to medication!! Okaaay.... by my BG is currently back to acceptable after my recent blip.
Am I missing something? She was suggesting I eat normal carbs despite my BG rising, but that’s ok because we have drugs. Surely drugs should be a last resort. (Unless of course someone chooses that course of action).
