[QUOTE="Norfolkmell, post: 2151990, member: 306528"] When diagnosed T2 3 half years ago my GP told me LCHF and no mention of Desmond,plus he pointing me towards this and the diet doctor web site. I see the 'diabetes' nurse in the practice once a year who just tests my feet and weight and marvels at how much weight I've lost, 6 1/2 stone and counting. After the first annual check we don't discuss diet. My beloved was diagnosed pre diabetic last year and told to see the practice nurse. I went with him and he was handed a leaflet on the eat well plate and keeps being invited to courses that he can't attend as he works full time as well as looking after me. Despite the surgery chasing him almost weekly he hasn't made an appointment for his annual check yet. He eats the same as me and when I do get to test his blood its invariably less than mine. He has put on a couple of pounds this year but having a 28 inch waist I'm not too concerned. The surgery also offers the slimming world offer. It seems that my preferred GP isn't high enough up in the practice to influence the people he works with. [/QUOTE]
