[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1860800, member: 245335"] Me neither, just as well my GP and DN are much more supportive. My DN is especially positive and supportive about my low carb approach. The interesting thing about my GP, and I've been able to discuss this with her, my approach works well for me because I am relatively very disciplined and I put that down to decades of watching what I eat very carefully in an effort to lose weight. She has mentioned that a lot of her patients haven't had that "battle" with weight issues so the very idea of cutting carbs is out of the question, mainly because they don't want to make the effort. My father fits into that category and interestingly while he's been in hospital where the nurses have confiscated the chocolate a family member took him (nobody will admit who it is, probably because I asked "which idiot took him chocolate, which bit of diabetes isn't understood?"), they've had to reduce his insulin twice. They don't give him Muesli, shredded wheat, or weetabix either. Less carbs - reduced insulin, who would have thought? LOL [/QUOTE]
