I love the 'Aaaarrrggggghhhhh'! Just about sums up the frustrations so many T2 people must feel when dealing with all too many of the specialist healthcare professionals ... so many of them, so much out-of-date given what's now understood from research?
But if you're newly diagnosed, how are you meant to handle this? It's taken me a while to really take on board the low-carb diet, and the absence of support from my local diabetic nurse (I never see a GP) is more than depressing.
I was fortunate, I was diagnosed November 2017 and told to go home enjoy Christmas and they would see.me in the new year. Came home long chat with Dr Google, found the forum, job done. By the time I went back in the new year I had a good amount of info behind me. By the time I went to the Desmond Course in February I was confident enough to tell most of the they were eating the wrong stuff for lunch. This forum saved my life.
