I do think doctors deserve patients to be open and honest, and I also want them to know low carb diet can benefit. Can I just ask how your consultant reacted when he/she found out you are low carbing? It's possible I might have a little bit irrational fear/anxiety in terms of doctors reaction to low carb diet which applies to your question 2. The doctors I've met at previous place I feel seem to think low carb diet causes more hypos (not true at all) and they seem to not know the difference between ketones from low carbing and ketoacidosis - In my experience this can cause a stressful situation... I recently saw my GP nurse who said I tested positive for ketones in urine. and I'm very nervous acting like I'm a criminal.... She wanted to check my BS level which was normal and she looked puzzled but didn't  say anything more and I didn't say anything..... I'm dependent on NHS at least for insulin prescription and driving license renewal. At this stage, whatever I say or I do, I don't think they will cancel my insulin prescription but I'm a little unsure about driving license. I have been threatened.... They are the ones with authorities and what they think can count a lot</blockquote>
