[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1246842, member: 93179"] When he diagnosed my diabetes my GP pointed me in the direction of Atkins for weight loss, though our nurse sis and still spouts the "eat carbs with every meal" mantra. Both my GP (now also my main diabetes support) and the previous short term (one consultation only) practice diabetes "expert" have been quite happy both to let me get on with my LCHF way of eating, and with my ability of to manage/control my glucose levels this way. I feel I've been very lucky considering the current general medical consensus that we should be eating what causes many of our diabetic issues. Low carb diets have been a pretty long term way of controlling diabetes (since at least the late 18th century) and was really the only way of managing it for type 1 diabetics in pre-insulin days. it's only been recently that this way of eating has fallen out of favour, but I believe that it's now being recognised again for the benefits it has for us Robbity PS: [USER=275588]@ExD[/USER] - we have a number of fairly longish term successful low carbing type 1s and several more recent ones on the forum too.
