[QUOTE="sassywriter43, post: 350150, member: 51290"] It makes me so glad that I have got the doctor I have. When I got told I was type 2, I had NO information apart from watch what you eat, which as on a previous forum and pouring my heart out to you guys wasn't much. It still isn't. I didn't know what carbohydrates were bad (and I use to nurse). I seeked this forum. I also made an appointment and went through pain to go to my regular doctor who was shocked at the diagnosis! We sat and had a long chat, and he spoke about starchy carbohydrates and about finding better ones, the other GP he had noticed had referred me to a dietician, he cancelled it, he said he was keeping me away from dieticians. He mentioned potatoes and white rice are the worse culprits, and he knew I have a lot of my food blended. I have a load of other problems as well as food allergies so I have to be doubly careful with what I do. On the plus side though the postie delivered some good news the other day, I had my first eye screening. I had to have it done without drops as I suffer really bad photophobia ( and I suffered on the day) for a 30 minute appointment it took 3 hours as I had to rest in between because of the ME I got the all clear.
