[QUOTE="librarising, post: 1146025, member: 41957"] Well done Liam, you're doing everything right. Sadly, too many HCPs are not as informed or up-to-date as members on this forum, so you'll have have to practise that 'disagreeing with a smile.' However, more and more are learning about the validity of an LCHF approach. In the last six weeks, when my T2 turned into a LADA, I told both a GP and two Diabetes nurses about my low-carbing, and there was a simple acceptance of it. Quite surprised me ! One of the main effects of low-carbing is a reduction in the need for medication, so monitor your BS levels and if a reduction is necessary, that's better than taking unnecessary carbs. You sound like a self-educator, which can only help you. You'll end up feeling you know more than the HCP dealing with you. There's so much good information out there these days. The days of higher carbs and the demonisation of saturated fats are numbered! Keep up the good work ! Geoff [/QUOTE]
