[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1607250, member: 24561"] Ah - I haven't got any medical training and I wouldn't want to advise anyone to go against medical advice - but my doctor isn't very supportive when it comes to any diet that isn't the standard Eatwell plate. So I wouldn't want to say that the warnings are wrong but if I had to ask my doctor every time I want to change something in my diabetes care I would never do anything as its (currently) a three week wait for an appointment and on the one occasion that I did try to discuss a change in diet with him (on to low carb) he was very dismissive. Personally, talking just from my own perspective and experience, I didn't find ND a problem at all as long as you test BGs very frequently and are aware of how you feel - if you feel a bit 'off' then check BG and be prepared to end the diet if there is any problem. But I'm the crazy woman that's happy to try most dietary approaches - so far I've tried intermittant fasting (of various types), zero carb, ND, one meal a day and just about anything else that I think might help. My personal philosophy is that its me thats got T2, not my GP or the DNS and, as long as I'm careful, then I'll do what I think is good for me. [/QUOTE]
