[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1272483, member: 104933"] This sounds pedantic, but doctor's don't give you 'cures' - and I think most doctors following traditional guidelines don't expect to be offering a 'cure' they are offering a treatment for a condition that they believe is incurable and progressive. I agree that it is wrong to lie to your doctor, but with something like a 3 month gap between appointments, try the treatment that you prefer, monitor the results carefully, and go back with the results. Personally, I keep all my readings on a spread sheet, and produce a lovely report with graphs before every appointment - and the results speak for themselves. in my case this no longer applies to blood glucose which I only test weekly now as I am a 'lifer' on LCHF and I do not experience high BG any more, but I also choose a less conventional treatment for self monitoring / dosing anti-coagulants and my excellent management speaks for itself. If you want to choose to be pro-active and manage your diabetes with diet and exercise and maybe fasting, with many GP practices you have no option but 'go it alone' and wait for them to catch up with the science!
