I am just so grateful that I found this forum and the discussion of possible alternative approaches to treating T2. Very little of what I was told about diet by the GP and DN made any sense at all. (Some of the other advice re feet, eyes, exercise did!). Only the advice of a young recently-trained dietician about low carb diets was helpful. I attended the DESMOND course and still have the carb-laden recipe booklets supplied by the DN.
I come from a country that does not have the wonderful institution that is the NHS. I am very concerned about using NHS-funded resources unnecessarily and feel that it is my responsibility to at least try a dietary and exercised based approach to controlling blood glucose levels before becoming reliant on drugs. Also I then have somewhere to go treatment-wise should this approach begin to fail.
