[QUOTE="nickm, post: 1007779, member: 217514"] The updated NICE guidelines for doctors state "Do [B]not [/B]advise adults with type 1 diabetes to follow a low glycaemic index diet..." (my emphasis) How is this consistent with the ethical obligation of doctors to discuss alternative treatments? Surgeons are required to discuss the pros and cons of not operating, but according to NICE, diabetes doctors should only advocate a "normal" diet (they give DAFNE as an example) which to the average person means high carb and high GI. if a patient goes to a doctor stating that they want to start a low GI diet, what will be the response? Don't do it? [/QUOTE]
