My NAME IS steve, have been diabetic type 2 over 20 years.
Been reading here for a while,and decided to join in.
Have been reading the low carb diet, and information,as upto last week I have been told carbs are good by
my diabetic dietician.
Went for my annual blood review,all good except high BS 3 month average of 9.1
However, I have a new doctor, and he told me he was high up in the diabetic world, and have taken on the job of reducing
diabetes in my surgery,as my area has a high population of diabetics apparently.
He told me this is the way to go,low carb, meat, fish,vegetables,some nuts and berries,a little fruit.
No bread, pasta, rice, beans,potato, pies pasties,sweets etc. Sounds familiar..
When I said my dietician said about, pasta bread pots, etc. His answer was, and I quote..'' She is a dietician, but I am a doctor, and I am telling you, carbs are your enemy, stay away from them, dismiss whatever she has told you and listen to me''.
I was blown away to be honest, you very rarely here the health profession poo pooing each other.
So, hello to all,and now off to another section to ask a few questions, about my new way of life..
