I am sorry to hear of the trouble you have had with some members of the healthcare world, but delighted to see how you have found a way out.Hello @fatismyfriend and welcome.........you have no idea how your attitude brings hope to those of us who have struggled with the snot nosed and biased "I'm a HCP, I know best" types over many years.........many of us have been harangued and belittled because we couldn't manage to make happen what they thought we should accomplish........we have a saying here that may seem silly to some but "unless you live with diabetes of any type on a daily basis you have no idea of the frustration it produces"........its a moving goalpost on a moment by moment basis and what worked yesterday may not work today.........but at least Low Carb gives us a fighting chance of being in the right area some of the time.
I am a slim non producer t2 and been on insulin since diagnosis and whilst I cant do the High Fat bit because of other problems it has helped me reduce my need for insulin to what I consider much more reasonable levels, so fewer hypers and hypos, resulting in my latest hbA1c of 39.....putting me in the non diabetic range but my need for insulin remains.
Well done!
