[QUOTE="Meggy, post: 152211, member: 29011"] I don't think the mismanagement was deliberate, but the NHS doesn't seem to learn, which you would think they would when people who low carb do so well. I wonder if the lack of advice on diagnosis is because the doctor/nurse wasn't as clued up as we expect them to be? Our expectations may exceed their knowledge for all we know, for a lot of them anyway. I was warned against low carbing because, I was told, the brain runs on glucose and the carb intake should be enough to run it. That and there is no research. I have since read that the body makes it's own glucose, from whatever diet you eat, to run the brain, so I don't worry about that. If there is no research, where have they been since Dr Atkins started to publicise his diet? Many people have been on that diet for years! I wish I had your nurse. Mine just gave orders and didn't listen, so I don't see her any more. I see my nice doctor instead, because he[i] does[/i] listen. Meggy [/QUOTE]
