Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deediabetic" data-source="post: 2465268" data-attributes="member: 547295"><p>I was at a party with an endocrinologist who is in their late 30s and are not too many years out from getting their qualifications. They specialised to be an endo and admitted to me that they learnt barely anything as part of their qualifications about what type 2 diabetics should be eating. They said that it was only working with the national body here on a short contract and being in contact with the dietitian who worked in the office,  that they learnt about ins and outs of what a type 2 should be eating. Unfortunately they were told about eating low GI carbs and the eatwell plate! They also hadn't heard about the Newcastle diet either. If an endo knows nothing much about type 2 diabetes management by way of appropriate diet then I hold out little hope for a GP knowing much either about diabetes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
