[QUOTE="TonyHancock, post: 1836317, member: 468382"] I suspect that for every poster here there are ten or more people who don't research, or don't want to stick to, what initially looks like, a "scary" lifestyle change. When I had a chat to my GP about not offering LCHF as a lifestyle change to patients newly diagnosed with T2, he was very clear in his response. His view was that most patients don't stick to the lifestyle change and seek a quick fix, in the form of tablets. My brother in law falls into this category, he is ill informed, doesn't carry out his own research, and believe that the meds he is on will solve all his problems. There is absolutely no desire to find a way to come off meds. I am not defending GP's and HCP's because their approach leads patients to believe that meds are the answer but I do believe that patients need to research their conditions......and yes I understand that may not always be possible. My father is on dialysis because he was prescribed medication for high blood pressure that was 10 times the dosage he actually needed......so I double check anything I am advised by HCP's. [/QUOTE]
