Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 704418" data-attributes="member: 85785">I was misdiagnosed as T2. I was slightly overweight and never got good dietary advice that helped me until I found this forum and then my consultant! I was branded with the stigma of many healthcare providers that my 'problem' is what I did to my body over the years. Even to the extent that one GP suggested that I get out and do some exercise. (In my work I did  at least 5 miles walking). Another suggested to me because of a symptom,  that I needed to eat more whole grain foods and eat no fat at all!!!I have had my battles with dieticians and health nuts. I feel so sorry for T2s because of the real harm these 'experts' are doing! My wife has hereditary T2.  Why does she have to watch something that could make her wonder what all the effort she has put in to control her BSLs? She has said that what's the point of all the drugs and denying herself treats if she only gets a couple more horrible painful years! That's the message she got from the advert!The whole diabetes spectrum needs a review in my opinion. It is so confusing and we are individually unique in our diagnosis & prognosis.The message is slowly getting out there it's a pity that whoever put that advert out there is totally misguided and harmful in its delivery!Sorry to rant!</blockquote>
