"Poor, outdated, advice for diabetics"

Had my annual diabetes check up.

My glucose counts, for the second year, were normal. Never asked about how I had achieved this. (Through change of lifestyle and switching to a LCHF diet since you ask both of which have been ridiculed by NHS medical professionals.)

Still have a problem with weight.

So here's the advice I get.

Ensure I take plenty carbohydrate rich foods.  No, carbs are what is causing the problem.

Insulin does not cause weight gain.  Too many doctors now writing that it creates the side effect of weight gain. When will the NHS come in to this century?

When will the NHS update its paradigm?

Walk more, eat less ....a paradigm so proven not to work.

I speak to professionals not trained in LCHF, nutrition, or who know that diabetes is a dietary condition and that treating a dietary condition with medication will never work. Has it worked for the past 50 years? The present paradigm is simply about symptom / sign management till death and not about the creation of health.
