[QUOTE="Roulis, post: 1940138, member: 496728"] Yeap! The nurse at the surgery told me not to bother checking the BG levels any more. It's not necessary she said! She told me this when I went back to see her after my blood test which I had 6 weeks after my initial diagnoses with T2. Because of the new BG levels went down to 40 (from being at level 50 6 weeks prior when diagnosed) she told me not to bother testing and return for another blood test May 2019! In fact she asked me how did I achieve this, to which I replied, as low as humanly possible Carb Diet and certainly no sugar in any shape or form! What amazes me, is the fact that they sound surprised? Should they not be educated of the benefits of this dietary program and its obvious benefits to BG?? The initial advise given to me in how to combat the condition, was for me to reduce my portions, but continue to eat a low fat balance diet, which I can tell you now, there would be no way, and no how, that their advise would have delivered the results! Furthermore to add insult to the injury, she told (at the point of diagnoses) that the condition will only deteriorate, I will have to take medication ,and later on, more than likely, the use of Insulin! I can tell you with certainty, by that point I was that windup and ready for Battle! I shall NOT quote here my response to the nurse! Anyway, as I mention earlier, when I went back to see her with my new results, she had change her tune about the doom and glum! In fact she was quite pleased with my work! Still though, no further advise at all, or willing to listen what actually works, they still keep to their curriculum! Best wishes to all. Theo [/QUOTE]
