Neither Dr Unwin’s paper, nor the Low Carb Program has emphasis on high fat, although the reduced carb content does mean the proportion of fat is increased. Most HCPs are wary of any eating regime that includes increased fats, due to the established NHS advice on low fat diets. Therefore I would be cautious about mentioning fat.
In your circumstances
@Listlad , to make good use of time with nurse and GP, I would :-
- Have my blood results printed out prior to appointment, and make sure I understood them, (ask for advice in forum if you need to). Presumably you will be seeing improvement.
- Tell nurse and GP how you have improved. Give print out of Dr Unwin’s paper, mentioning that he saved money by reduction in prescriptions for diabetes for his patients.
- Mention that HCPs can provide the Low Carb Program to give patients free access, and give the print out for that.
You will be potentially educating them for the better outcome for other patients. Go for it. Good luck.
