After a very disappointing initial consultation with my GP on the 13 March when I asked the locum Doctor who gave me my diagnosis, what I could do to help control this - his reply was "hope for a miracle"!!! I had a much more positive experience yesterday with another doctor, funnily enough another locum, long term this time, who suggested with my current attitude there was a very good chance I could reverse my diabetes.
I asked for a GP referral for some exercise guidance, she filled out the paperwork right there and then, then took my weight, which I'm delighted to say was down by 4kgs . I told her about here and the LCFF approach, eating to the meter. She said it was great that I was tackling things and that no two people are the same, it's not a one size fits all. I've to see her again in a month.
I left feeling so proud of myself and thankful of a bit of encouragement from my GP

Another health care professional to add to the diabetes.co.uk hall of fame.
 
Well done you!!!! Travelling in the right direction, keep it up :) really pleased for you, enjoy your little treat ;)
 
I'd follow up with a letter to the surgery complementing them on that Dr and suggesting the others take a leaf out of their book ;)
