[QUOTE="Una, post: 308483, member: 36500"] Hi, I am awaiting Barriatric surgery in October and Visited my GP last night- to do my regular checks. T2 since Dec10I have been low carbing for 12mths to help control my bloods but have not had much positive feedback from either my dietitian or GP. (850 metaformin x 2 plus Glicaside? sorry about the spelling) He took my BP looked puzzeled , Apologized, turned it off and back on, then took my BP again 127/68 NORMAL!!! First time in years! He was so surprised the first time he did not believe the machine! :lol: Then checked my cholesterol taken in July 3.4 again massively down. I have not been exercising much more due to my size but have lost 2.5stone since Dec and am more mobile. I did say to him- maybe Low carb? he did not respond to that comment, other than say well done. ( PS he is generally a great GP So i am not knocking him, just the idea of LOW carb seems to had passed him by). After the Op I the diet I have been advised to follow is 50% protein 35% Veg/fruit 15% carb by the hospital I can not wait for my OP, although I did just spell check Barriatric it offers me Barbaric hmm am i : :roll: crazy: [/QUOTE]
