[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1232942, member: 17713"] Not a T2 but only got told how to work out exchanges for food 30+ years ago. Never saw a dietitian until this year and that was regarding my stomach and diabetes. She was staggered at my detail and knowledge. She asked why I was there! Explained that I couldn't keep weight on and could only eat certain foods due to stomach trouble. She said as I could obviously work out insulin/carbs etc to add in ice-cream and condensed milk.... Went back to my gastroenterologist and he said, no way for condensed milk-it would make my stomach worse, and as I found out with ice cream-perfect blousing but it raises my levels 12-18 hours later. The dietitian admitted I knew my body best and the only thing I could do was to add dried milk to my milk intake from all her advice. In the end, the thing that has added extra weight on and kept my weight reasonable now is the tablet Letrozole. Gained almost a stone since taking that. Every consultant (I've had a lot) in 30 years and the nurses have known I have never seen a dietitian. Even for my pump training I did not have to attend courses as I could prove I knew my carbs/ratios etc. still, nobody has ever asked how Ikept lean and low hba1c's and reasonable cholesterol.
