This was the dialogue during a recent appointment:
Dr. (after reviewing my BSL record): "It's good to see your blood sugars are normal. It must be the medications that you are on."
Me: "Well actually, I halved my medications. I have drastically reduced my carb intake"
Dr: "No, you must not do that! Your body needs carbs!"
Me: "Why does my body need carbs?"
Dr: "Your body need carbs for energy. Without it you won't have any energy."
Me: "But I have more energy now than when I was consuming lots of carbs."
Dr: "You MUST have some carbs"
Me: "But that will only increase my blood sugars."
Dr: "That is why you have your medications"
Currently I'm looking for a new doctor for future consultations!
