[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1186416, member: 13978"] I have mixed feelings about HCPs and LCHF. I've found I've got the motivation and am prepared to put the time and effort in, but then I have always been a big foodie, of a scientific bent and interested in experimenting. Having met a load of other diabetics on a course, it was clear that a) many of them didn't have a clue about food (getting sweets out of the machine at the break and drinking full-sugar coke.) and b) didn't do much cooking. I truly sympathise with HCPs when they assume people won't manage it, even if they get free strips and education on low-carb eating. It would need to be a far more extensive training than the 6 mornings I was down for, I'm pretty sure. Plus people nowadays are in a mindset of 'doctors will fix it' whenever they have an illness, and just aren't used to taking control. Diabetes in the first few years anyway is mostly symptomless and you could get lulled into a false sense of security. I must say I was only shocked out of that by the threat of insulin. [/QUOTE]
