Disagreeing with Nutritionist

10474 Views 37 Replies 23 Participants Last post by  itissteve
Has anyone ever had their endo or a nutritionist/dietician give them a meal plan that was high in carbs? When I went and saw a nutritionist on Thursday at the diabetes center in my area she gave me a meal plan that had 45-70 carbs for each meal. I respectively told her that I wouldn't be coming back to see her.

We are our own best advocates. If it seems wrong, then it probably is.
I have been on a KETO diet for years. It was the only way to keep my sugars under control.
I have been a diabetic for 24 years and ONLY a year ago I have been diagnosed as a 1.5 diabetic (LADA).
So any amount of carbs spiked my sugars.
I think that diet may work for some people, but we are all not all the same stage/or type of diabetes.
