[QUOTE="andyhorton, post: 1731909, member: 454913"] I completely understand. I went to see a dietitian under duress (4 months after diagnosis T2). My HBA1C down to 36 from 61%, Cholesterol 3.8 from 6.5). I refused medication from Gp. The dietitian commended me on my results but then contraindicated herself by trying to convince me that I must eat starchy carbs and lots of bread and more carbs. (By the way I am an Oncology Nurse so know my stuff). Anyway I asked for the rationale of the starchy carbs etc only to be told that my brain needs the glucose to work! She really stumbled and lost track of what she was trying to brain wash me with and gave up as I told her that my low carb high fat diet proves otherwise, oh and my 2st weight loss. Waste of time. I did my homework over the 3 months from diagnosis, I just feel sorry for patients that dont have a clue as the advice j received was appalling. [/QUOTE]
