[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2427972, member: 517579"] I think a lot of it is due to when they were trained. Younger professionals seem to be much more open to low carb, older ones less so (sweeping generalization, based on my limited experience). I had that experience on my course - the diabetic nurse pushing the "eatwell plate" and the (much younger) dietitian advocating low-carb. A lot of GPs are deskilled because nearly all diabetic care is handled by a diabetic nurse these days and so doctors in training in a GP practice won't actually often see, evaluate, and treat diabetes - they'll see diabetics, but for other illnesses. The other factor is that the health service usually sees a lot more of people who aren't managing their condition (as opposed to people who are) and therefore will miss a lot of the success stories.
