I am appalled every time I go to the Diabetic section at my hospital for regular checks. They are still offering the help booklet with exactly the same advice as quoted on the photocopies posted Eastport. When will they learn by the many great results of a low carb diet and publish something which reflects that.
Correction - Should read ‘earlier’ not ‘Eastport’!I am appalled every time I go to the Diabetic section at my hospital for regular checks.

Eat more cheese meat eggs and healthy fats.I'm confused... Been told to cut right down on starch carbs like potatoes, bread, pasta!!! I'm losing weight as a result. Weight that I really, really could do without losing.

Yes, I’ve lost weight too and am now down to 122 lbs! But this has now stabilised by eating more protein and fats which really does compensate for drastically reducing carbs

Hi VMK,
Although it seems perfectly logical and I have seen many others suggest it, I think that you are the first person to say that eating more protein and fats has actually stemmed your LCHF weight-loss mode.
The others all seem to have still been trying to lose a few more lbs.
This is what many sons and daughters know to be true of either their parents or grand parents. In a similar way to many of us remember being at school with maybe 1 or 2 fat children in the entire establishment.The only meat my mother would eat all her life was beef and lamb - she lived to her mid 90s and rarely saw a doctor.

I titled a thread a few weeks ago with words to the effect that they are trying to kill me - should have changed to us.Just saw this from my local mob.. and in 2019....!

It took this forum to steer me away from the advice currently being given to diabetics by the NHS. Attached is from page 6 of the booklet I received...........
I phoned up the DESMOND people in the north west here the other day to ask why they were still putting out Eatwell solutions to T2 diabetes. I got their phone number from their leaflet in my town’s other surgery. I was told that there wasn’t an Educator around but to email in. So I did but no reply so far. LOL.I saw a trailer of the DESMOND course when I was at my GP surgery the other week. Whilst I couldn't hear what was being discussed, I saw enough to know that the course was not for me. Have since cancelled and said I would not be rescheduling.
The diabetes clinic in Kettering and Corby seem to have wiped their hands off me, I have not had any updates since we had argued about carbs, even my new GP says I must eat carbs, so they are all trying to kill me, I am really quite ill and feel dreadful after listening to their advice- toast or porridge in the morning as that shall give me enough energy to enjoy my life to the fullest!! -by the way, they say i'm not allowed cheese :|
I just had some new test strips arrive and my glucose levels are through the roof.. I dare not even contemplate what my Hba1c would be

Well in one part I saw that they were doing group work and some were playing with plastic food. Trex, Butter and a plate of plastic baked beans! I thought if they ask me to put these in order of what I could eat from those three options I would only choose the butter which would probably have been the wrong choice. Thought it best to step away.I phoned up the DESMOND people in the north west here the other day to ask why they were still putting out Eatwell solutions to T2 diabetes.

@miffli have a look through the forums and see what has worked for other members and eat what us best for you. If you feel ill eating too many carbs reduce them - I am on the cusp of low carb in that I eat between 100 - 130g per day which is more than some here eat in a week but, for me, it works as I have maintained my hba1c in non diabetic range for approx 6 years. Try having Greek yoghurt (provided it you like it!) and berries or have eggs for breakfast. If you still want bread there are several low carb options out there - I have the Tesco High Protein bread at 10.5g carbs per slice. Why have they told you not to eat cheese - for most of us it is a staple! I come from a family with a variety of allergies including coeliac, nuts, egg, fish and dairy so am used to family members having to adapt diets and, when I am hosting, my recipes to accommodate the visitors. Ultimately it is your choice - you are the one with T2 diabetes not them. Use your meter to experiment and find out what you can and should not eat and adapt accordingly.The diabetes clinic in Kettering and Corby seem to have wiped their hands off me, I have not had any updates since we had argued about carbs, even my new GP says I must eat carbs, so they are all trying to kill me, I am really quite ill and feel dreadful after listening to their advice- toast or porridge in the morning as that shall give me enough energy to enjoy my life to the fullest!! -by the way, they say i'm not allowed cheese :|

Hi,@CatManRob - can you elaborate on why eggs should be avoided?
Edit - and red meat?
Just a comment on chlorinated chicken also - we do have chlorinated water here in the uk, so while I'm not sure about concentrations, we certainly could view the hype as more political than health oriented.
