good morning all
4.3 today
my meeting with the dietician yesterday was interesting, my reading is that they were more an adherent of the low GI carb school than LCHF but we managed some good discussion about real food, vitamins, minerals etc. They said I was doing well with my diet and it was healthy (and mentioned that I wasn't doing a 'ketogenic' diet - which I'm not as I stick to under 80g of carb a day), were flattering about my weight loss and said that it and my bg improvement was 'commendable' . They did try to gently push me towards eating 'a few' more carbs and said ideally not to go under 100g a day in future
, (so I smiled in a friendly manner
), gave me the standard booklet (whilst saying it was probably not helpful in line with my 'current lifestyle') and a copy of a GI food list which they said would be more more useful in helping me to concentrate on 'healthier carbs' They were however, helpful and informative about vitamins and minerals etc. and offered me a contact for future queries.
Maintainance is now the name of the game for me I think, the dietician said that there are two possible scenarios/causes for my being T2, A - that my obesity made me insulin resistant (or as I believe, my insulin resistance made me obese) or B - my pancreas function may be diminishing - or any combination of the two factors - if my T2 is progressive I would like to slow it down as much as possible so my 'current lifestyle' will continue ie Lower carb/healthy fat, real food and a decent amount of exercise
