[QUOTE="badmedisin, post: 159852, member: 16874"] To a lot of us, our HCPs are total strangers! I've rarely seen the same consultant twice, so I never have the opportunity to build any trust in them or work out whether they seem to know what they're talking about. I've seen the named consultant of my diabetes clinic. She had a massive strop about me being on Depo, then actually shouted at me and wrote a really insulting letter to my GP because I didn't want an insulin pump. I came to the conclusion that she was utterly mad, and if she bothered to give me any advice, I probably wouldn't follow it. I know a lot of patients are abusive to doctors, and there's no call for it. But sometimes we're just pushed to breaking point by nasty supercilious people who have all the power and won't take our opinions into account. That kind of person is hard to trust or take advice from. As for the whole low carbs debate, surely it's personal choice? It seems to work for a lot of people so maybe it's worth a try. I just wouldn't tell my dietician until I had results to show it was working :-) [/QUOTE]
