    I'm NOT surprised. It was my gynecologist who first identified that I had diabetes in the first place. Go Gynos!

    I'll tell you the conversation I had with the doctor I am talking about that I finally met that supports Keto. Then I'll reveal their specialty.
    So, she asked me how I had been losing weight. I said, well, not sure of your opinion on the method because in my experience so far when it comes up with medical professionals, isn't generally supportive. I'm eating very low carb.
    She says, I actually fully support that.
    I reluctantly gave more info and said, it's very very low carb. Are you familiar with nutritional ketosis?
    Her- Yes! I recommend it to patients all the time. I think it's the best way anyone can eat, especially women around 40+.

    I was in such shock that not only did she support it but went on to suggest that it would be great for everyone, that I didn't even discuss it any further or ask if she herself eats that way. But I imagine she must be right?

    This was my gynecologist! Makes sense though. I'm sure she has many patients with PCOS which seems most commonly the doctor supported low carb audience. I wonder if she advises reducing carbs to gestational diabetic patients?
    Anyway, I like her extra well now!
