[QUOTE="ShortStuff, post: 2108145, member: 60140"] I thought a DN with half a brain was an incredibly rare find. I’m disappointed, but unsurprised, by her comments. Long ago I told my GP I would take her advice but I would decide on my medications etc and I’m happy to take full responsibility for my decisions. She’s been more supportive since then & knows I will not take statins, BP meds or pretty much anything if I can sort things out with diet & exercise. After my op last year she supported me trying a few different BP MEDS but we couldn’t find one that didn’t make me fall asleep & feel sick when I next saw her and I’d ditched ALL the meds I was expecting a lecture but she just said if things were going in the right direction my way then she was happy with that The DN’s I have NO problem either ignoring or ‘setting straight’ they’re a bloody menace You simply HAVE to do what YOU think is right - you already have more knowledge than they do! Remember they cannot stand over you and MAKE you take anything you don’t think is right. 1.3kg is a good loss in quite a short time and it’s FABULOUS when you take into account the steroids and the usually significant weight gain they cause! Low carb/Keto isn’t a miracle weight loss solution for me either (currently I’m in week 13 of being really good (this time!! Several years in total) and I ‘lost’ 4kg, 2 came back so overall have lost 2kg in 13 weeks! But it controls my blood sugars, so I persist and try not to get toooo brassed off that I don’t get the losses others do. I’m about to go to France for a fortnight so god alone knows what I’ll weigh when I get back. I won’t go mad, but I will eat some carbs. And drink the worlds best latte. BUT I WILL get straight back on the wagon when I get back!! Be strong, be in control of your own health don’t let people who are less well informed than you push you into doing things that aren’t good for you!!
