[QUOTE="graham64, post: 97998, member: 10150"] Thanks Katharine, it's good to see some recognition of the Low Carb diet in the Sign guidelines, it's a small but significant step in the right direction. It was interesting to see amongst the references a study that showed that Desmonds had little impact on HbA1c levels, as this course promoted the “ healthy diet “ is this not more proof of the inadequacies of such a diet in the control of blood glucose. [url=http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/336/7642/491]http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/336/7642/491[/url] Another concern is the issue of SMBG for T2s, without testing I would have no way of knowing the effects of the so called ” healthy diet “ and yet Sign states routine testing is not recommended for T2s, and that HPs should be aware of the potential negative effects on patients psychological well being. No mention of the potential negative effects of complications brought on by poor glycemic control through not testing. Thanks again Katharine your efforts on our behalf are appreciated, I just wish more HPs had the courage to challenge the NHS dogma. Regards Graham [/QUOTE]
