Do your HCPs REALLY listen to good news?

[QUOTE="Ka-Mon, post: 205275, member: 27697"] Do you still get good support from your HCPs LGC or has this support stopped? The problem I see here is that they don't have the time to ask each patient how they achieved their good results without making the waiting times even longer than they are now. The only people who tend to get on the front pages of anything (medical) are those whom are more or less described as "freaks of nature" who achieve something that (probably) no one has achieved before them or are very rare. All I am interested in is looking after my health and I am happy if/when I have achieved good health/BG levels. Whether my HCPs are happy or not I'm really not interested but from experience I know that if I am happy so are they because we have worked together to make me healthy and happy plus they don't have to see me any more which then makes them happy again cause they will have time to work with someone else who is not healthy/happy. Patient feed back is a good idea but then they have to have someone read all the info, categorise it and analys each praise/complaint or whatever and then re-educate all their stuff to follow the results of that "study". The thing is, if they find that only a few people had success with low-carbing and more people had success following their "normal" advice then low-carbing advice will not be taken into any consideration at all and they will carry on business as usual. Meaning that they will only either consider low-carbing if the success is in the majority or they just as they are doing it now only work with and support those patients like yourself who have told them how you achieved your numbers. But most HCPs probably will not support low-carbing for the simple reason because it is not adviced by the NHS and should something happen then low-carbers can't put the blame on their HCPs claiming that they were told to low-carb by their HCPs. In short, anyone who does not follow their HCPs advice, on any illness and not just diabetes, are pretty much on their own and should something happen to them then they can't point their fingers at anyone else but themselves. It's the same as when a car mechanic says that you need oil in your engine but you don't listen to him and keep driving your car, he can not be blamed when your engine eventually seizes up. (I don't mean you personally BTW, it's just a general use of the word). [/QUOTE]
