Message: <blockquote data-quote="Emma_369" data-source="post: 2005027" data-attributes="member: 490508">[USER=396121]@OrsonKartt[/USER] the ‘best diabetic dietician’ genuinely was that. She apologised for it taking 6 months for an appointment and has said the problem with that is that she has nothing to tell me as my last Hba1c was so good. We spoke in depth about low carb - if I’d seen her straight after diagnosis she would have advised low carb. She discussed that some people find it hard to maintain long term and so to bare in mind that if I were to gain weight and go back to eating what I did before my numbers would most likely go back up. She spent the appointment just singing my praises and saying I was a success story - which feels a little fraudulent to be honest. Maybe if I can keep these levels for the next 10yrs I’ll accept that statement. She did rather alarmingly say my doctor has written on my notes - diabetes cured!! She stressed this wasn’t the case, and that it would be diabetes in remission as is only down to this way of eating. I’m even dubious to class it as remission after only 1 blood test since diagnosis. My next one is due end of this month and then she said they’ll likely go to 18month bloods just to monitor. Concerned now as I get discount at my local gym as ticked the box as health condition where exercise helps - which is what my doctor told me to do in the beginning!! Now he’s written cured all over my notes if they check on me will I be in trouble?! Going to book an apppintment with my GP for after my next bloods to tell him he’s a fool and that I don’t want cured stated on my file!</blockquote>
