[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2117052, member: 345386"] [USER=160151]@busydiabeticmum[/USER] - I'm firmly in the "no lies" club. That does nothing for anyone. Have you asked your pre-natal team to share the science with you, supporting their beliefs? Whilst if I am talking about something brand new, or unexpected with an HCP, I might have to initially stay quiet about contra views, for fear of communicating from inappropriate orofices, but if and when I have already done my reading, I am much less inclined to go along with the "Trust me, I'm a Doctor" approach. Of course, this is an approach lots of HCPs aren't familiar with, but it does lead to some "interesting debates, and over-running appointments. As someone who has never had children, never mind gestational diabetes, I haven't read enough to make a comment based on anything other than what my brand of common sense might dictate. Other brands of common sense exist. :o) [/QUOTE]
