You'll probably find that the phlebotomist has left so they can't/won't do blood draws at the surgery? If the phlebotomist isn't there then none of the others at my place will do mine. She's the only one that can get blood out of me!This sounds strange. I was sent a letter calling for my HbA1c blood test from the surgery and up until now have had the bloods drawn at the surgery. This time the letter states I have to go up to the hospital or to another surgery just to have the bloods drawn. I am unhappy about this and I am about a month overdue for the tests as I do not see why a simple blood draw has to be done elsewhere. I had deliberately changed GP/Surgery so as to cut the inconvenience and cost of going to my old surgery, now it will cost twice as much.

No - fats do not become glucose when digested - that is why it does not cause insulin to be released.NHS - in instruction video for usage of CGM for T1D states, that fats are changing to glucose, but later than carbs, is it true? Is there same simple description of this process? Is T1D metabolism other than T2D according to fats?

If I were to bolus for fat, I’d hypo. I inject for carbs and protein only. Fat doesn’t turn to glucoseSo why the NHS says in instruction to bolus for the fats? And there is also the math for calculation from calories. From 1:45:20 - I know, it is in czech, but the math can be seen on presentation:
Just had a visit with my NHS Dietitian.
Whilst congratulating me for going into "remission" and lowering my HBA1c from 85 to 38 in just over 4 months, he did not like the fact that I changed my diet to an extremely low-carb and very healthy diet.
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.
So I was sitting there in his office thinking this is just another waste of my time and while I was listening to his sermon, I saw a book sitting on his desk about "Carb and Calories", the best selling book on counting carbohydrates and calories for Diabetics!!!
Absolutely confusing!!!!!!!
How sad you felt the need to be unkind about her weight. There are lots of reasons why she may be struggling. I have been battling for 55years due to hypothyroidism. Just one of many causes for someone to gain weight. In all that time only one GP has given me the dose I need to feel well and loose weight. I am type 2.I know this is going to sound awful but the when I saw "Health Care Assistant " at my local surgery and was being asked if I was eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise all I could do was look around the room for the hidden cameras, I was sure I was on Candid Camera or someone was playing a practical joke. This women that was asking me all these questions about diet and exercise was almost as wide as she was tall. Not exactly setting a very good example.

Your doctor sounds ridiculous.
Consider a different doctor.
In the meantime, if you can control your blood sugar through diet and exercise, this is preferred to meds. Meds have side effects.
Be sure your metabolism doesn't suffer too much by going too low carb too fast. Carbs and gylcemic index are directly related. If you go low GI, you are also going low carb.
Lose 1 to 2 lbs per week if you need to lose weight. Not any faster, or, you could bring on a heart attack... congestive heart failure, shoot up your cortisol, which steals from progesterone which in women keeps estrogen in check..., thereby throwing your hormones out of whack, which can lead to bad things like cancer from too much of a certain type of hormone. Among other things.
Good luck.
Tell your nutritionist to observe wild creatures.They eat only what is available to them, and they all specialise. We used to be wild, long before bread and rice, and we ate what was available to us. Namely our natural foods that we could gather or hunt. We are still the same, and whilst we don't have to gather and hunt, those foods are still available.Just had a visit with my NHS Dietitian.

If you haven't already, I strongly suggest posting a version of this on the "Success Stories & Testimonials" Forum where people needing encouragement can find it.yesterday the Diabetic Educator said if she didn't know I was 70 she'd think the blood results were that of a 19 to 20 year old
Reading this, I reflected that living as I do in a big city in the North of England, I'd have trouble feeding myself as a hunter gatherer. But then I realised that we do have an unlimited supply of fine, healthy looking rats. I'd need to be pretty adroit to catch one, though. Grey squirrels would be another possible prey, but it would take a fair few to make a meal.Tell your nutritionist to observe wild creatures.They eat only what is available to them, and they all specialise.

A simple philosophy I suppose, but now I have accepted it, it's working for me too. My lowest reading was 5.8. And I ain't cheating!!!

One of mine brought a live chicken in through the window last year, he’d pinched it from one of the nearby allotments. My other cat brought home a cooked, breaded chicken leg...@Alexandra100 - One of my cats brings me a lot of mice and, once, a live rat, which she refused to have any more to do with once she'd let it loose in the flat. Now, if she could bring back something I'd actually like to eat...
