Warning Rant Ahead
I could shot the bloody diabetes nurse. apparently, I'm doing everything wrong, she basically just sat there and sprouted the desmonds material at me verbatim. she answered none of the questions I needed answered, and yeah, I'm still fuming even after the fact that the appointment was this morning.
all I wanted to know is how my diabetes is going to effect my healing time after my surgery at the end of March. I've got to have open release surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome - everyone's saying it's going to effect it but no one seems able to tell me how long it will add to the healing time etc.
but yeah, apparently my weights gone, up and my Bmi has gone up but everything else including my blood pressure has gone down. this despite the fact that I've lost 3 stone over the past 12 months, and am starting to replace fat with muscle but no, my exercise and weight aren't good enough.
then she started in on my diet apparently I HAVE to eat Carbs, I pointed out that there's no RDA for Carbs and I was on the LCHF diet (Low Carbs High Fat). according to her, I have to, eat Carbs as they are where we get out energy from.
To say after leaving I was fuming was an understatement if I had been doing something wrong I could understand it but being talked to like I'm a five-year-old when I'm 45 is something that's just not on.
Which is a pity because up until now the gp's surgery has been one of the best I've ever been to.
