Hi
Went to see GP because I had painful gout in my toe and after reading the NHS advice online about gout had spotted a line saying low carb diets may promote it.
I was amazed to hear said GP tell me that the LCHF diet I am on for diabetes is the hottest topic in medicine at the moment. He also said he and others did not believe they would have to prescribe any metformin in a couple of years if it became widely accepted.
Now whether or not you like or get on with this particular diet it is not often one finds oneself being greeted enthusiastically like this in a GP surgery or am I wrong?
