[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1833016, member: 456748"] Yikes! I’m impressed you lasted that long. I dutifully went to the one-day one offered when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Instead of the 4 weeks of 2 hours that was the alternative. Absolutely no disrespect to the others who were there, but I sat there feeling like I’d wandered into the wrong room. I was 37, had no need to lose weight, but was surrounded by much older, much larger people than me. Being told something about the importance of a ‘balanced’ plate of food that looked it contained foods that I already knew were big no-no’s for me. And of course, the biscuits appeared at break time! As background to sounding pretentious, I had gestational diabetes 12 years ago at the age of 30 in the US. A nutritionist was assigned within days of diagnosis, and spent an hour explaining to me, individually, carb counting and eating to the meter and don’t eat bananas, just like well, you know, this site :) I thank my lucky stars that she did as I would have followed whatever I was told without question then - I’m just glad she got to me first before the NHS prescribed course. Good luck with your GP. I had the fortune of getting a GP who was supportive of my choice to be very low carb. I doubt he’d ever advocate it, but he’s happy that whatever I am doing is working.
