[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 584206, member: 107467"] I think that GPs are just facing a huge onslaught of diabetes and are either struggling to cope to support it or else have become so used to it that they don't appreciate the shock it is to us as individuals. There's plenty of support on here though and lots of great advice so welcome in and stick around. I'd suggest getting a meter and self testing to see what foods affect you rather than waiting till the next review. That way you are ahead of the game. If the diet sheet advocates carbs with every meal. I'd bin it and cut out rice, pasta , spuds, bread , grains, carby veg like parsnips etc. The NHS advice by and large on diets isn't that great when it comes to diabetics so it pays to be proactive. If you are overweight losing weight will help as does exercise, though I am not sure how monile your MS allows you to be. [/QUOTE]
