[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 999124, member: 93179"] Next time anyone suggest that low carb is a fad diet tell them it was first usedto treat diabetics in the 18th century, and has been used regularly since then ...So some fad!! :D:D:D I was lucky enough to be told by my GP when I was diagnosed to try the Atkins diet (for weight loss), which I didn't as such but after investigation and finding the forum went low carb instead. Mainly to shut my husband up who was insisting that Atkins (as had been practices by a gourmet eating friend) was too expensive! :wideyed: Robbity PS But the same GP was also truthful regarding type 2 testing: the practice manager won't allow them to prescribe test strips for us, and I think cost cutting is probably the main, but not often admitted, reason for refusal - whatever else they may say!
