[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2053804, member: 401801"] No training here in the Netherlands, so never met other random, freshly diagnosed diabetics in my area. I was sent to two different dieticians who both told me to eat carbs and cut fats. Going low carb is relatively new.... But most doctors, dieticians and specialists haven't quite gotten with the program yet. I'm my GP's lab rat, really... I'm the only one in the practice who went LCHF and later keto. I'm also the only person in the practice to reverse her diabetes with diet only. Reason? I don't see the diabetes nurse, I don't see the dietician. I just read Fung and dietdoctor.com, keep an eye on my meter and discuss results with my doc, and no-one else in the medical profession. It was a learning curve for both of us, but I love that she took me seriously and agreed to do whatever test I wanted, at any given time. Diabetes isn't her speciality, but since the people who should be in the know about all this gave me advice I wasn't going to follow anyway because it was detrimental to my health to do so, and I got results marching to the beat of my own drum, she wants to keep a close eye on where all this goes. And so far, it goes to a HbA1c of 33, good cholesterol, weight loss, a fixed fatty liver and no diabetic complications. ;) Sometimes you just do what you need to. Swim against the current and all. ;) [/QUOTE]
