Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celeriac" data-source="post: 926128" data-attributes="member: 188243">I have T2DM and eat low carb organic or wild food.My GP is neutral on that and my ophthalmic consultant very much pro organic. I saw a DSN who was against low carb and in the end I resorted to distracting her with my husband (who was an NHS manager then) so they had a chinwag about other stuff insteadIMO, food is the first line of attack against diabetes, so I'm invested in giving my body the right nutrition.To me, that means removing all processed carbohydrates firstly, so that the carbs in my diet come from natural sources only. I feel that it makes sense to remove foods which my body has problems processing. The second step, for me, was to remove as many of the additives and pesticide residues as I could by going organic. This should mean also, that I'm not ingesting second-hand genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones. Currently, I'm working on a document to list the nutritional content (where stated) of everything I buy. I want to go to my GP and get tested for B12 for example along with my routine bloods.My plan is then, is either to take GP up on his dietician offer or seek an appointment with a nutritional therapist. So, I'm interested in hearing your experiences with NHS dieticians, especially if you low carb. Secondly, there is a nutritional therapist in the next town, with a degree in nutrition from an Aussie uni. An appointment with her is £50 for an hour. Has anyone consulted a nutritional therapist or non-NHS dietician ?Thanks in advance !</blockquote>
