[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1014831, member: 30007"] Hi Galja, in the UK, our GPs typically have a Diabetic Specialist who is responsible of managing the targets for Diabetic patients. They are not necessarily a diabetic expert. This is what I meant by a Diabetic Specialist GP. The Diabetic Consultants may be Endocrinologists - that's probably the best parallel to draw between the two systems. Very few health care p[rofessionals are oriented towards a Low Carb Higher Fat diet as there is not yet enough of a body of evidence to challenge the entrenched view. This is starting to turn around. Insulinogenic drugs are those which encourage insulin production, specifically Secretagogues (sulfonylureas and Glinides) and Incretin based treatments (DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 Analogues, like Byetta). If you are concerned that you may have been misdiagnosed, you should look to have GAD test and a C-Peptide test. The two together should give you more direction. [/QUOTE]
