[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1186375, member: 219467"] Thats great for you and me... However... Most people believe (very mistakenly in my opinion) that their GP is the world expert on their condition and thus when he says take these pills they do. When I was pre diabetic I was informed by a phone call from the surgery receptionist who said you should "lose a bit of weight". That was the sum total of the advice I was given. Not exactly helpful... no idea of what I could be letting myself in for if the condition worsened. When diagnosed with full Type 2 I did the research and luckily found my way here and not to the "Other place" where I would be told to follow the eat well guide and take my pills like a good boy. My practise nurse is a cow and knows nothing.. the GP overseeing the Diabetes treatment had never heard of Prof Roy Taylor , Newcastle Diet or LCHF. He didn't seem very interested when I explained either. So I would be loathe to blame the patients when they are given appalling advice. [/QUOTE]
