Started following Dr. Bernstein’s diabetic solution end of June, figured out by the start of August my novorapid wasn’t sustaining long enough to catch the protein so needed a longer regular insulin to do the job. Got everything down to a tea, stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. Was active anyway but now it’s unbelievable how much more I can do.
So I went to my gp to discuss this, who also happens to be our practice “diabetes expert” he then tells me he will refer me to my diabetic nurse. I wait til late September to sit down with her, thriving from the changes I’ve made by following dr b. i’d seen her previously in July and showed her my great success at almost halving my hb1c following dr b’s book was self funding my own cgm with an almost flat line that she has never seen before. Said it was amazing and she hadn’t seen anyone do that in such a short space of time. All I did was cut out the excess carbs they advised. Non of these have even heard of Dr. Bernstein let alone the benefits of diabetics following a low carb diet.
Now I’m being told that she needs to raise this as a case study with a consultant at the agt meeting in a week. I was with her 8 days ago. This simple task of changing my insulin to one who’s profile best matches the food I eat i find is unbelievable and just wasting valuable time and making me have more injections and having to stack doses virtually just to cover protein.
Anyone else had any nightmare experiences like this??
