Thanks for all the replies. I still think my GP's responses are bizarre. I forgot to add the bit about me telling me i have a fatty liver - she is going to send me for an ultrasound scan to see if she is right about it, as the blood test was inconclusive, despite me reminding her that my liver function took a nose dive due to some medication I was on, prescribed by her, which I had to stop after two months due to its affect on my liver, upon her advice. Still, the scan will be useful.
She also said anyone eating a healthy diet doesnt need supplements, as they are already added to cereal and white bread etc. I pointed out that, as a low carber, i dont eat cereal or white bread. I am not sure she understands that carbs are not just visible sugar.
I suppose, being on here, I get surprised at the general bad information that has not yet reached mainstream medical training. A bit like when I tried to explain to someone else that a sugar free cookie is still a carb, due to the flour. She just couldnt grasp the concept of what carbs are, because potatoes, flour, rice and pasta are good for us, arent they.
