[QUOTE="fatismyfriend, post: 1882476, member: 288355"] My first thought? Get a better Diabetes nurse. She shouldn’t be ageist about blood glucose & everyone deserves a normal blood glucose if they can get one. Ask for specific low carb advice from a local health care professional. In our area some dietitians teach it as well as GPs and Nurses and your dad could be referred and you could attend with him. It’s in the NICE guidance - low GI, individualised carbohydrate recommendations Dec 2015 1.1.1 & 1.3.3 A couple of other ideas: Have you and/ or your dad used the low carb programme on this website yet? Have you seen the little videos by Dr Richard Bernstein called Diabetes University? He advocates lower amounts of carbs for breakfast because the blood glucose is often high in the morning. You’re right that your dad deserves better. Hope that helps [emoji846] [/QUOTE]
