I WOULD DEFINITELY LISTEN TO EVERY PERSON ON HERE FOR THE MOST PART. IM A DIABETIC AND YOU CANNOT CUT OUT CARBS COMPLETELY. DIABETIC OR NOT. I WOULD CERTAINLY GET A SECOND OPINION. THE ONLY THING YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO EAT IS MEAT. SORRY DONT MEAN TO YELL BUT THAT DR IS A FOOL. CUT BACK MOST DEFINITELY NOT ELIMINATE. JUST MY OPINION.
Agree but you can seriously cut them to 30 to 50g grams just fine. .. Her doctor may be trying to make a point that her diabetes is bad enough that 0 carbs wouldn't hurt her at all...

I went to an internal medicine specialist that works with T2D people to reverse it.
I ate around 50-80 and did intense cardio.
It worked T2 is gone. Stayed gone
No carb sounds a bit extreme. I fired by first internist for trying to treat T2 as T1. Meds and just accept it
You can investigate other doctors.

■■■ you have to be careful, because diabetes is big business!!! T2D can get into remission with a diet style that limits carbohydrates. I choose ketogenics & after injecting insulin 5 to 6 times a day I now don't inject any insulin nor do I take any pills or other drugs. I'm better controlled eating in a way that doesn't provoke insulin secretion or high blood sugar...■■■ 10 weeks insulin free it's a blessing indeed...0 -
She may have meant "No carbs except for what's listed here" - you could clear this up in a quick phone call.
But since you're not comfortable with her for other reasons, I agree with your desire to switch doctors. Is your psychiatrist part of this practice? Might be good to have a team meeting.micheledarley2012 wrote: »Thank you for all of the replies!
She wrote no carb on my new diet plan which says Mediterranean diet on it. She is actually part of a very large practice that is part of our local hospital and very well respected. I do think I'm going to call and ask for a new doctor as she makes me feel so uncomfortable. I'm going to see the dietitian in two weeks and hopefully that will help me get some tips on cooking and such. I also want to have my primary care doctor look at my blood work, because he takes the same medication I do and has done bloodwork on me for the last eight or nine months and I want him to see the blood sugar and insulin information.

If anyone is on a carb free diet and has some foods they like that they could share with me I would really appreciate it. I have already given up all of the bad food, but I'm not really sure what to eat.
Very curious- is it the weight loss Dr. that prescribed to you the med that is known to cause diabetes? If not, your other Dr. should review the blood work and the two of you should discuss the risks of taking that med. Otherwise, I would definitely seek another opinion from a primary care or endocrinologist.
No, my psychiatrist prescribed it.
Why would a psychiatrist be counseling people about nutrition? My boyfriend is a psychiatrist and he admits that he knows less about nutrition than I do.
My psychiatrist prescribed me a medication that can be known to cause diabetes. Nothing to do with nutrition. If your boyfriend treats bipolar or schizophrenic patients he should know what medication group I'm talking about.

There's a few people who've written that maybe the Doctor wrote no carbs meaning no starchy or refined carbs because this is what a lot of people think carbs are. I don't think a Doctor should be making assumptions like this about a patient's level of knowledge. There's a huge risk that either the patient already knows what a carb is or that they'll go home and google "no carb diet" and come up with an overly restrictive diet. Hard to see how making an assumption like this should be favoured over actually educating the patient about carbohydrates and using correct terms.0

Have you made an appointment with a new doctor, or seen the "no carbs" doctor for them to clarify?0 -
