Message: <blockquote data-quote="DavidGrahamJones" data-source="post: 2109318" data-attributes="member: 245335">When I was diagnosed in 1997, the consultant I saw told me absolutely nothing about diabetes and my GP told me even less, except that I had to keep eating carbs. The worst advice I have ever received and maybe I should consider legal action and drain the NHS of much needed funds.I was never offered any course and it's possible that something like a DESMOND course would have been very useful, except for their advice regarding carbs. If that only represented about 5% of the whole course . . . . . maybe overall, not so bad. I don't know the whole content and will never be offered the opportunity to find out, so I'll never know. Something that happened to my father. Something I can't get my head round is that despite me showing him the distinct and very obvious advantages of low carb for a type II, he just went on regardless. He was insulin dependent type II and thought Muesli, toast and honey was a healthy breakfast.</blockquote>
