[QUOTE="peppiB, post: 71008, member: 15441"] Went to podiatry clinic yesterday and saw someone I hadn't met before. Told him that since last visit I had joined a forum, heeded the advice and started low carbing, lost weight and blood sugars were starting to fall. He was not impressed. I was told firmly that a) he had nearly 30 years of dealing with diabetics and therefore had much more knowledge than me b) the internet gave dangerous and misleading advice and c) for my own health I should immediately return to the recommended high carb diet. Think this must be someone who advises diabetes UK!!! I asked if he was diabetic, and no he wasn't!! The good news is he said I don't have to see him again. He did however discover I have one leg shorter than the other - something I have known for 60 years now. This should have been picked up when I was a child .... but wasn't. Possibly too late now, but at least I now have a wedge in my shoe! Meanwhile, back to making my own decisions, looking after myself, and watching BS fall thanks to the low carbs. [/QUOTE]
