Me to a dietician was never suggested and my nurse has never mentioned the eat well plate either she is happy for me to do what ever works for me as long as my blood results are good which they areI'm grateful that I was never asked to see a 'dietician'. Why see someone who follows a an outdated view of diet and nutrition and isn't medically qualified either.

He said my fasting blood glucose readings between 4 - 6 mmols/l are false and I'm cheating.
He also emphasized to me to eat "normally" and stressed out that the NHS does NOT agree with low-carbing and it's strongly NOT advisable.
You can actually afford to buy coffee at their shop/cafe? Bravo!When I have gone for an appointment at the hospital. I usually after my appointment go to the hospital restaurant and have a cup of coffee. I was absolutely shocked to see the nurses and doctors eating chips, crisps, pies etc. My appointment was nothing to do with diabetes as I am pre-diabetic or not sure if I am now with my numbers, because of eating low carb, but these people should be setting an example. Many are overweight themselves
Try the Pioppi diet which is a lower carb variant of it.I would like someone to tell me exactly what a Mediterranean diet is. I lived on the med for over 10 years and all I could see was a meal of cheap grisly meat made expensive with cover up sauce and chips with something red which looked like it had landed from a great hight (tomato and red pepper cooked to death) for veggies followed by a very very sweet desert. I only put on weight!

The LCHF diet was originally proposed by William Banting, and people using the diet were said to Bant, Interesting but confusing confliction.
Probably not enough fat in the fish to produce satiety.. that's what I find..It sounds very similar to what I eat now, except I do enjoy a good steak and other red meats. Fish I enjoy but it does not seem to last and I get very hungry afterwards.
Thanks for your reply

Yes, Your right. Although, one restaurant around here cook their fish just right and a large whole fish with a gravy boat of melted butter to pour over with a salad is good!! I could eat that now!!
