[QUOTE="Feeling judged, post: 647193, member: 132158"] His, I'm a newbie to the forum. I was diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerance after two recent fasting blood tests showed levels of 6.8 and 6.2. I had an appointment with a dietician at my Health Centre today which was a miserable experience. I wondered what other experiences folks had with NHS Dietitians? Came out of the appointment feeling patronised, judged and wanting to lock myself in a dark room. Yes, I know I need to lose weight but don't appreciate being sneered at for my inability to like oily fish and told to eat carbs at lunch time with my salad. I'm trying hard, swimming twice a week and gym in between. The statement that you can't afford to eat what you like anymore just makes me miserable nd the advice seems confusing based on what I have read about carbs. [/QUOTE]
