After a very disappointing initial consultation with my GP on the 13 March when I asked the locum Doctor who gave me my diagnosis, what I could do to help control this - his reply was "hope for a miracle"!!! I had a much more positive experience yesterday with another doctor, funnily enough another locum, long term this time, who suggested with my current attitude there was a very good chance I could reverse my diabetes.
I asked for a GP referral for some exercise guidance, she filled out the paperwork right there and then, then took my weight, which I'm delighted to say was down by 4kgs . I told her about here and the LCFF approach, eating to the meter. She said it was great that I was tackling things and that no two people are the same, it's not a one size fits all. I've to see her again in a month.
I left feeling so proud of myself and thankful of a bit of encouragement from my GP
 
Nice to hear of an enlightened GP, who understads that one size doen't fit all

Pat on back, big smile from all of us, small square of 85% chocolate or something do you think?
 
This house is heaving with goodies right now and so far I've resisted the temptation.....might just treat my self to a teensie wee treat
 
Another health care professional to add to the diabetes.co.uk hall of fame.
 
Well done you!!!! Travelling in the right direction, keep it up really pleased for you, enjoy your little treat
 
I'd follow up with a letter to the surgery complementing them on that Dr and suggesting the others take a leaf out of their book
 
Do you know Andy I might just do that, she was so encouraging
