Nothing I did say would make any difference and all that would happen is that I would be blanked, box-ticked as non-compliant or fobbed off (just like the guy who raised the issue of LCHF and DB reversal). Sorry but I really don't think that anything I said would make one scrap of difference to the NHS treatment regimeScattered right across this forum are countless posts from people who have received poor standards of either perceived or actual care from their GPs and HCPs. This ranges from lack of interest, to a "one size fits all" approach, to inappropriate or incorrect advice, to an almost slavish adherence to a treatment mindset that was generated decades ago and has not been updated. There are, of course, a lot of exceptions to this and many DBs do not experience any such problems and are offered advice and support outside the NHS guidelines. Unfortunately, though, many (probably the majority) of GPs and HCPs continue to plough the same dated furrows that the NHS has been cultivating for years.So, largely from a self-interest perspective, I shall continue to listen, nod, smile and say thankyou .. and ignore</blockquote>
