I went for my annual review and was dreading being told I needed to be eating whole grains etc. Yet another DN and this lady was a complete winner! She has been advocating low carbohydrate for 40 years, advises no more than 20g of carbohydrate per meal, takes classes to teach people how to cook low carbohydrate meals on a budget etc. She says she has managed to get long term insulin reliant clients off all medication and back to good health. When I asked her how she had managed to do this on the NHS she said that she had studied extensively and was confident in her outcomes so ignored the NICE guidelines. However, as a nurse, her approach is often ignored!
Interestingly she requested fasting blood lipids to include trigs and spoke knowledgeably about ratios etc. Why oh why is she not being given more of a voice?
