[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2149504, member: 345386"] The point I am making is that not all health care professionals recommend DUK. I have no challenge that yours did, but mine did not, and discussion with others'; both at my local DUK group and in groups containing T2 from a wider geographical area, are that many Doctors do not recommend the internet. Not everyone has the same experience, and even if they did, not everyone will take the same action, based on generally similar information. I still contest, based on member numbers, that "most are told of DUK". It is my firm belief that most are advised not to visit the internet, due to the quantum of information and the often conflicting nature of it. In terms of your final point on engaging in your locale. I would encourage anyone to engage in whatever way they can in their locale. If everyone waited until they were the "real deal, perfect diabetic", there'd be nobody out there. To be honest, some of my greatest learnings, both with diabetes and life in general, have come from mistakes I have made, or blind alleyways I have frustratingly explored. Finally, if you visit the NHS App Store, the DCUK Low Carb Programme is there, approved by the NHS and available on prescription from GPs. For the life of me, I can't find anything there bearing anything like the DUK logo. Different people, and groups do things in different ways. [/QUOTE]
