It wasn’t great for me either, in many ways. It was only coincidences and some luck that led to my reversal. I am now trying to change things at surgery level. I thought it might be possible and I am beginning to believe it is possible. In fact right now it is looking quite likely.
I lived there a few years back. My first high reading was acquired there. Promenade. They then “prescribed” an Eatwell type diet which helped but didn’t completely get me to levels well outside of the Prediabetes range.
. It’s a really good idea to keep testing as the proof is right there in front of you. It identifies just what each food does to you personally. If you do you’ll almost certainly find rice /pasta and probably potatoes of all colours not just white will be causing high numbers. They may rise a little tiny bit slower but still contain as many carbs.
Neil you can do your own research...there is so much information available so when you attend your course & your next appointment with the DSN you be well informed.
I'm afraid whatever the colour bread, rice and pasta will likely have a deleterious effect on your blood sugars as will most fruit aside from raspberries and strawberries in limited quantities. I just fill up on meat, fish, eggs etc most of the time and leave the rest out, Green veg can be included if desired (although these days they are rare if ever for me).
I'm not sure how many of us realise our GP practices are private partnerships it took me some time to realise that jjaark
I would imagine you likely knew more about how to manage your diabetes than the facilitators/instructors jjaark.
Most likely they will tell you there's no time...or they aret he experts...or there are no proven results of the benefit of a LCHF diet...and that scientific studies indicate T2's do not need to test based on the Farmer et al report which monitored a group of T2's for three months without testing...then monitored the same groups for another three months with testing there was no significant improvement for those that monitored their BG...it's not surprising the group were not allowed to alter their diets when they began to test their BG...so of course the results would be the same...it was a study that was set up to fail from the onset...good luck with DESMOND you'll need it.
I'm not in the slightest bit surprised by that.... but 6.8% is still in the T2 range I prefer to have a bit of wiggle room.
I used a podiatrist in IOM. One in Douglas. He was okay, fairly basic. I had been recommended the new place down by the quay near Tesco but it was awfully expensive. By sheer coincidence my next door neighbour is from the Isle of Man and a podiatrist with his own practice here on the mainland.
