[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1730516, member: 245335"] They're in a stupid place where they can't advise anything that isn't in their operating instructions. Having said that, last year I did actually get to see a diabetic specialist nurse at the local hospital who asked me to go through my diet with her. No problem, it was not only all written down but input into my "Weight by Date" software which shows up to 10 bits of info of what I've eaten including calories, carbs and another 8 things of my choosing (from their list of many). She said "I don't suppose I need to give you this then?", it was a book called "Low Carb Diets for Diabetics". Maybe you could get a copy and send it to your NHS Dietitian, he obviously isn't keeping up with the program, just reeling out the same old guff (foolish talk or ideas) or, (in Scotland it means an unpleasant smell). As side issue, she was going on an Abbott run, one day training course, on the FreeStyle Libre although she did think it unlikely that our CCG (Chilterns) would fund it. BTW, if you google "Low Carb Diets for Diabetics" there's some interesting web pages to read. Edit: Forgot to say "Cheating?", cheeky . . . . . . . . . . (choose any expletive). What would be the pointing in not coming clean with your health advisor (so called professional who was lacking in how to deal with patients. [/QUOTE]
