[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1744324, member: 223921"] As I may have mentioned on another thread my ex anatomy tutor who is a podiatric surgeon operated on a lady who my daughter is in contact with on face book to amputate her leg from just below the knee because of T2 complications, he is now having to to do this on a regular basis up to 20 times a month removing diabetics limbs. This lady was diagnosed T2 8 months ago and had been following her GP's advice and eating to the well plate guidelines. Thing is she has lost a limb but of course is still diabetic so has now decided on the surgeons advice to go low carb but in the hospital is even though having just lost a limb still being provided a high carb diet so is having to get people to bring in low carb food for her. The surgeon told her he had over heard two doctors in the hospital saying that T2 diabetics don't end up with amputations and it is only T1's who have such severe complications such ignorance on the pat of NHS doctors appalled him so he had to correct them by sharing a T2 case file of a patient he had operated on. So while the advice and ignorance of doctors continues as is, I can only see the situation worsening over time The dietary guidelines and advice have got to change The surgeon in question feels like crying when having to remove limbs when it could be for the most part avoided, especially where young children are concerned. The lady in question is or was a PE teacher and thinks not only has she lost a limb but she won't be able to function in her profession any longer. While doctors and health professionals keep telling people that T2 is progressive and can only get worse and giving advice that can only worsen the situation it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.
