[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2415983, member: 460354"] It's quite a long story. But this is how it went in a nutshell. Grab a coffee and cream ;-) we could be some time..... I was dx t2d December 17 - gutted. Googled reversing diabetes - found dcuk and the answers!!! Reversed my symptoms relatively quickly and easily and got my hba1c down in weeks. Symptoms disappeared in days. Realised something was very wrong re current guidelines that class t2d as chronic and progressive. Organised a get together with other forum members in Birmingham. Lots of leaflets on various things put together to highlight the benefits of low carb etc. An inspirational stories booklet (powerful). We all put ourselves out there for newspaper interviews, radio, magazine even TV (this morning with holly and phil). I put all the info in a big brown envelope and googled all drs and hcp names at my surgery. Took envelope in - handed over with instructions for everyone to read (how rude but it worked a treat !!!). I joined the ppg (good move). The practice manager has been ultra supportive. She could see the benefits for diabetics and invited me to hold my own sessions at local surgeries. Lots of new initiatives had been introduced. Patients helping patients Empowering people in community Social prescribing They really were embracing what I had to offer. They booked rooms for my talks and presentations in the local community. They invited me to share my story at big meet ups. And the latest development was being invited to help the social prescribers (newly appointed for obesity and diabetes). They set up zoom type meetings for any pts interested (pts with BMI over 30 and diabetics), and I just do my thing. They send out feedback forms and the response has been very positive. I'm almost finished a 60 minute talk (similar to this one) that I intend to post to YouTube in the hope that it can help even more people. Anyone can dip in and view. I will be sending it directly to Boris et al!!!! [/QUOTE]
