[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 247784, member: 33342"] Well you've been here much longer Nigel, but in my experience (over thet last 10 months) is that the ration of HCPs offering good to bad advice is nowhere near 50:50 (for T2 diabetics I think that 20:80 or even 10:90 would be much fairer). [Of course this forum probably isn't representative - maybe there are lots of T2 diabetics that get execellent advice from their HCPs and never have to rely on the DUK community for support. Even if it were 50:50 in reality, it's not unusual for the "complainers" to shout much louder than the "praisers".] In my opinion the problem is not usually with individual HCPs (who are mostly highly educated, conscientious and professional), but that the underlying "eat lots of starchy carbs" message is just wrong. We need to change the message, not shoot the messengers. [/QUOTE]
