I went to see my doctor yesterday to discuss blood results. I have been on the LCHF diet for one month and was feeling great and lost 9 lb. I was hoping for some good results but was told over the three month measurement period for HBAC1 that my blood glucose had increased from last year. and is now 63. I told my doctor about HCLF and he told me it is not working and the one and only cause of type 2 diabetes is weight. I said I wanted to give it time to kick in as I had only been on it a month so the reading was taking in the other two months I had not been on it. He says the high fat part of the diet will make my weight increase and so my diabetes will get worse and rather than being involved with diabetes Uk I should let him manage my condition. I am 5'8 and currently 13 st 12 lb although I do a lot of exercise and am quite an athletic build rather than fat. He says I have to be 11 stone. I am now very depressed and downhearted and wonder if it worth carrying on as I will never be 11st due to my bone and muscle build. He then said I should already be showing signs of kidney disease, eye problems and foot problems and it is only luck that I am not and I do not have a healthy future to look forward to at all. Also When I told him I hoped to reverse my type 2 he said that is impossible and that I will have it for the rest of my life despite the rubbish I am reading on the forum. After telling me that all the things I am eating (HFLC) was wrong he could not come up with anything helpful to eat except to say I should have less than 5 grams of sugar, less than 5 grams of fat and no carbs per 100 grams of product. I eat a lot of oily fish but he said that was fat and I eat fruit which he said was sugar so I only have myself to blame. I went shopping last night and could not find anything to eat under these new diet rules. I was feeling great till I went there and have felt better this past month and now I am just depressed again.
