#$%^&%$ medical profession

[substitute]

My doc says I have insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome, refers me to learn how to take my sugars. Says I may get diabetes if I do not lose weight. OK.

He then tells the hospital diabetes people that I have new onset diabetes and need the full edication with dietitian etc.

Meanwhile I am also supposed to see some other nutritionist.

DO I HAVE THIS LIFE CHANGING DIASTROUS DEADLY DISEASE OR NOT? MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND.

Your doctor just told you that you'd have to watch your dietary sugar. Therefore you need a diet that's based around low sugars (and other refined carbohydrates that convert swiftly into sugars).

Atkins isn't necessarily the right one of that group (and it's not the one that I'm on), but something from that area would presumably be what you should be doing.

It was more emant to be a 'take a look into this kind of thing' than 'go do this'. Sorry if it came across badly.
