[QUOTE="Potteron, post: 1090718, member: 171991"] I understand your frustration as I have a similar problem with my mother. But in this area she is the expert as she has been diagnosed Type 2 for 15yrs and is now 84yrs of age. I am 1yr into my T2 diagnosis and 60yrs old. Both of us diet controlled. My mother has followed the NICE guidelines as advised and I am signed up to dietdoctors LCHF. I take her shopping every week and the differences in the contents of our trolleys are vast ! My frustration lies in the fact that she is often tired/worn-out/lethargic/feeling off, most of which I feel is caused by the bananas/oranges/scones/ bread/ potatoes /poridge/cornflakes/evaporated milk etc that fill her shopping trolley. But all these items are within the diet she has been told to follow. My mother has tried hard to follow the advice she was given and is constantly told at her reviews that her control is good. Until the NHS can come up with some guidance that helps us towards a better management and control and is not patronising in its assumption that we won't be able to manage if our diets are too constricted beyond the 'norm' then I can see a future for many that is seen through a foggy haze of vision and tiredness.
