Im stunned, shocked, saddened, gutted in fact.
I've just recently joined the PPG at my surgery. In reply to my first email welcoming me I asked for stats (after saying thank you of course).
Here is my email:
I'm wondering if you can help with some information i need for an up and coming event.
I reduced my HbA1c from diabetic level of 62 in December 2017 to 41 (non diabetic and normal) in May 2018. So within 6 months. I did this on a low carb high healthy fat diet. The dr however confirmed I could have done this on a low calorie or low fat diet.
I wondered if you might be able to give me stats for diabetics who have put their blood sugars into non diabetic HbA1c range within 6 months? And also within 12 months (perhaps starting with a higher hba1c).
Thanks for your help.
And this is the reply I received this morning from the practice manager. I have copied the DN reply:
'The only patients who have done this to my knowledge at the surgery is post bariatric surgery'
So it would appear that the diet the Dr is encouraging hasn't worked for ANY of his patients. The DN by the way was my mum's DN for about 10 years and my dear mum passed away 11 years ago.
