[QUOTE="L1ncslass, post: 2088655, member: 446412"] Hi Just read through the thread, wouldn't it be great if all Dr's & Diabetic Nurses were uptodate and gave out CORRECT medical advice re diabetes and how to manage it! Instead you get a mish -mash of outdated rubbish. If you got bitten by a poisonous snake you wouldn't keep putting your hand back for another bte just because there's an antidote -as eventually the this stops working. So why keep poisoning your body with carbs if you can't process them.. You need proper confirmation of the type of diabetic you are as stated before T2's overproduce insulin and T1's under/or don't produce insulin., However both can see beneficial responses to a Keto or LCHF diet [T1's look at Dr Richard Bernstein on youtube for how he eats for his T1] HOWEVER you need to know which one, for the appropriate response to symptoms. I no longer have my reviews with the diabetic nurse, rubbish advice, ignorant re T2 and LC diet and the fact you CAN put T2 into remission. Letter of complaint to the surgery I now have all my reviews with my GP, whilst not knowledgeable re Keto [not allowed to recommend due to NICE] BUT supportive [can endorse LCHF] and last review he was asking me more questions as now normal blood glucose. DN labelled me as a non-compliant patient, he shook my hand and said I was a model patient! {I digress] When I first started self monitoring blood glucose SMBG [self funded my GP didn't want me to test BUT it's the only way to get a more instant picture of what food affects YOU. I had double digit readings, I had [false] HYPO like symptoms when I dropped my BG into the 8's [still on SR Metformin at this stage - can't believe you were given the ****** version first!] and GP said I could stop taking the Metformin 3 months in [Only ever took ONE of the four prescribed daily] By 9-12 months my BG runs between 4.2 to 6 ish. Not only do I have to eat low carb but also low to moderate protein [gluconeogenesis converting excess proteins to glucose] and now I do not have symptoms of a Hypo they only kick in when I get to less than 3.7mmol/mol [I can give myself a Hypo if I eat LC and Mod protein in the absence of fats]. I rarely eat fruit as fructose is more 'toxic' than glucose to diabetics it goes straight to the liver to be metabolised. You've been given some great advice re SMBG, KETO/LC diets. Google, Youtube & Facebook great research tools for LC recipes NOT a diabetic cook book and lots of information on and the Keto/LC diet and how it helps with diabetes. Hopefully you will get a CORRECT diagnosis of Type soon. Good luck on your journey to better health and as Hypocrites said Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food. Fuel your body better with REAL food, Good health is wealth, nothing is sweeter than success and being in remission [and reversed mild retinopathy] is worth more than a slice of bread, biscuit, cake or piece of fruit xx [/QUOTE]
