[QUOTE="caroline_92, post: 1917950, member: 126167"] I have just received a very nice letter from my GP in response to my little package of goodies.... He says they encourage people to go to DCUK website, he follows us online and is aware low carb diets are becoming more popular. Several patients a year at our surgery also kick their diabetes into remission as I have done, usually through losing weight and some through low carb. The local Desmond course he refers new patients too are ‘slowly coming round to using more of a low carb approach’. Too slow for my liking but I guess any progress is good. He also comments NICE are slow to adopt change. *sigh* The depressing part was him saying some patients just prefer to take the tablets and not change their diet drastically as they like bread, pasta, potatoes, beer etc. and they would find a low carb diet difficult to sustain. There was a programme on TV last night that said the NHS are doing 170 amputations a week from diabetic complications which is so sad. I personally think a little more shock tactics at first diagnosis and clear, low carb dietary advice with example success stories would be the way to go. I also asked about being part of the PPG but he didn’t address this in his letter. I guess the practice manager would pick this up or perhaps it isn’t terribly active. Overall I thought it a reasonably encouraging and positive response, given the current guidelines but our work on spreading the word def needs to continue! [/QUOTE]
