My last trip to the dietician


(Renee Slaughter) #1

Earlier this year I posted about a my conversation with Tina the dietician. Everyone had a good laugh. So here we go. I forgot her name so we will call her Cindy
Cindy: Hi Renee glad you made it. Let me pull up the notes from your last visit. According to Tina, your A1C looks fantastic 5.3. Your triglycerides at 100 are awesome. Your total cholesterol is a little high, is your Dr ok with that?
Me: sure he didn’t even mention the numbers.
Cindy: Now Tina mentions here that you are ketogenic and how is that working for you?
Me: (mouth slightly ajar) Him great, off my diabetes meds and lost some weight. Blood pressure is coming down too.
Cindy: Well it looks like you are doing really well. Do you have your food diary.
Me: yes its on my phone. Cindy flipped through the app like a pro.
Cindy: you’re doing a great job. Now how can we help you achieve your goals?
Me: :flushed::flushed:.
Cindy and I worked out some exercise goals and I needed more water.
So people a keto friendly dietician isn’t a unicorn after all!!:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

A keto dietitian might still be a unicorn; only you have seen one, :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::unicorn:

Is this the same dietician as the last one? I remember that thread vividly!


(Renee Slaughter) #7

No Cindy is new. Tina left.

Thank you Mike, however Ive had a setback this summer. All it took was a little sugar to derail my progress and descent into all out carb fest for the entire summer. Gain some weight but my next doctor visit is November so I have some time to get back on track. Learned some lessons so not a failure. Just a journey. The above dietician visit was in May of 2018.
