[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1150167, member: 219467"] Hi Dr Mahesh You are quite brave to announce your GP status here as a lot of us have had less than ideal treatment from your colleagues. You say you know little about the LCHF diet but then suggest it causes high cholesterol .. it may or may not and that may or may not be a bad thing but before you **** it forever I suggest you read some of the success stories on this forum to see what some of us have managed to do by going against your advice. There are a few GP's in the UK who have realised that the NHS mantra may not be correct. Dr Rangan Chatterjee for example and Dr David Unwin also on the forum (recently shortlisted for the BMJ awards for his treatment methods for type 2 diabetes). I would suggest you read some of their work before damning what we have achieved. Your vegan diet may well suit you and your low GI carbs as well but you don't have Type 2 diabetes I assume. Many of us have found by testing our bloods (mainly self funded because our GP's refuse to prescribe test strips) that Low GI carbs have much the same effect as high GI carbs.. probably because they are carbs! I am not trying to be nasty and welcome you joining the forum but your opening posts don't do you any favours. So have a read of this forum [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/success-stories-and-testimonials.43/[/URL] you might find out some surprising facts.. anecdotal it is true.. but real world. In the meantime welcome.. we're pretty friendly and don't bite too often.. By the way these are all my own opinions and in no way do I reflect the views of other forum members..(except where they agree of course) Regards Mark [/QUOTE]
