[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 990178, member: 195124"] Don't be fooled by the 'diabetic specialist' tag used by some doctors. When I saw the doctor who runs the diabetic clinic (so should know everything there is to know about it) she just wanted to put me straight on metformin and statins and was not open to discussion and not interested in diet and exercise as a therapy/cure whatever. "Well you don't have much weight to lose" she said when I talked about diet and exercise. So she thinks of diet purely in terms of weight loss whereas on the low carb high fat diet it is a lifestyle diet and I feel fantastic on it! :) Haven't been back yet but will report what she says when i do go back and show her my improvements.
