Can anyone recommend a good low carb friendly diabetic consultant in the Wiltshire area?
 
Bumping this for you @kevio :)

I see you're a Type 1 like me. I've found my consultant to be very happy with me choosing my diet as I wish. They've never fussed about what I've eaten and don't tend to get involved in that at all.

I don't know what choice of local hospitals you have but if you're just looking for a good consultant then you may get more response in the Type 1 section. If you would like me to move your thread,, just say :)

I'd also add that having a good DSN is important too. Mine's a star and just as valuable as my consultant :)
 
I have found my GP not interested in lchf; they haven't studied it and therefore are unable to advise either way. My consultant however has much more experience of it, and actively encourages it as he can see the huge benefits it has had for both me and other patients.
My DSN's whilst also not taught it, are seeing more and more people with D turning to lchf with overall fantastic results - however, as with anything in life, it's not something that works for everyone.
