[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 1989533, member: 112460"] I can relate to your frustrations as I also experienced most of them 5 years ago in the months after diagnosis. Fortunately I discovered this friendly and knowledgeable community. I was also lucky to have a consultation with a young, NHS dietician who, when pressed, recommended no more than 30g of carbohydrate in any one meal. Out of all the conflicting advice, I decided to create my own meat-free dietary plan based on LCHF. I have normal blood glucose levels and no complications to date although my total cholesterol levels have increased. All meals are based around a protein source and I am now fitter and healthier than I have been for years. I have let the frustrations go but do attend all medical appointments. I ask for and expect particular blood tests to be done e.g. Vit D and B12. I do filter the advice given and have done my best to learn as much as I can about Type 2. I am much more confident about trusting how I feel and if I am slipping into the dreaded carb-creep I revisit this forum. Reminding myself of the potential complications also helps. Knowledge is definitely power and no-one is going to be as interested or invested in my future health as I am! [/QUOTE]
