[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1251457, member: 245335"] I think seeing the dietician would probably help the dietician. I was recently looking at the type of things they learn to become qualified and the training course syllabus that I was looking at started with the Eatwell Plate, 1/3 calories coming from carbs. I didn't bother going any further. That obviously would be OK for some people, although I question the 1/3 bit for anyone really. I agree with you, the more you do to help yourself the less the NHS has to do to help you and I suppose that's a good thing. They recognise that you've got it sussed. I asked why my 6 monthly HbA1c was now annual and the nurse just said "Do you think you need it?" She knew that I make good use of the good old meter so she was probably right. I do believe that I was never considered for knee replacement because I coped by doing specific exercises including walking about on Altos shoes (mushrooms on the soles) and tolerated the pain. Thank heavens for health insurance and a company that accepted pre existing conditions. [/QUOTE]
