    I used erythritol or xylitol although I have to be careful with the xylitol as it’s poisonous to dogs

    Thank you Bulkbiker - I’m feeling a bit calmer. It’s amazing though how often I find I’ve to justify my position to them even though they have the results in front of them

    Cholesterol

    The LCHF diet meant I came off all medication a year ago and my Hba1c level has remained at 40 but none of the HCPs will take my word about the diet except my GP

    The new Gp was fine - it’s the nursing staff I seem to have issue with. The nurse told me today I couldn’t possibly be eating a high (saturated) fat diet. There was quite a heated exchange and I’m the only diabetic patient in the entire practice that’s in remission. She said to keep doing what...

    I was sent home today from the school I work at as local authority following government list which ‘diabetes’ is clearly marked as vulnerable group. I was told it wasn’t about me as such, but ensuring that the risk to vulnerable people was reduced to hopefully reduce and delay the amount of...
