[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1077412, member: 44622"] The first thing is to turn up with results she never dreamed of achieving when she handed out the pills. At this point she may assume that she is doing well. You can just sit there with a smug grin on your face. If she intimates that she has heard of low carbing then you may tentatively talk of same in the full knowledge that she is being insubordinate to her governing body and could get into trouble. If she has only ever heard of the Eatwell Plate and does not want to discuss other ways of managing then this is the time to smile and nod, or if you prefer, smile and nod and keep saying "Oh yes" like Churchill the dog in the adverts. If you think you are going to convert her to lchf then you could be in for an argument since NICE still don't think it exists and she has to do what NICE say. Currently NICE says that Type 2's should be encouraged to eat as a normal healthy person. I got most satisfaction by dropping my Hba1c by 25 points and watching the puzzled look on her face and not explaining how I did it. My DN is particularly clever and she has tried pumping me to see what is going on and I think she knows really but we both enjoy the game. [/QUOTE]
