[QUOTE="vonbon1, post: 356534, member: 56264"] Do these nurses go to the same school of pig ignorance or what? I was just at the hospital not about my diabetes but an orthopaedic surgeon, who was very surprised at my 20lb weight loss in 5 weeks, and getting my bmi down from 52.4 to 47.2. he asked how long I had been diabetic I told him I was diagnosed just 5 weeks ago. He said low carb diet is a very good diet and would help me no end in getting my weight down even more. I just find it incredible how a practice nurse can suddenly become a diabetic nurse and have more say than your gp. (my experience) Hopefully you will receive better treatment in the future. I would have been livid had my nurse spoken to me that way. although saying that she did ignore the fact that I had crumbling knees and told me to to the gym. also ignored hydracephilis and told me to go look it up. Good luck in your journey keep asking questions on here and at your drs. vonbon [/QUOTE]
