I started a low carb diet a few years ago. It was made easier as my husband, who is not diabetic but is very overweight, joined me. I lost 4 stone and was taken off a lot of my meds. My GP said “I don’t know what you’re doing but carry on doing it”The word is getting out but it is patchy. Best thing is to do your own thing and when you get fabulous numbers, just hope they ask you how you did it.
Unfortunately I “fell off the wagon” and the weight crept back. I really struggled with it. When we moved house we got a new GP who is a great fan of low carb (yeahhhh, welcome to the 21st Century) and I have now got a new diabetes nurse. She is amazing. She has taken me off gliclazide and put me on Trulicity. I was apprehensive as I’m not good with needles but as it turned out it was a “piece of cake”.
Yesterday was my 5th jab and I have lost 15lbs by low carbing.
Oh the joys of haveung the medical profession in your side
