Welcome, Steve

What a great story and you have done all your research before finding us, so let us know how we can help you. There is More diabetes information in that forum: http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=45 and you would probably like research and media too: http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=4
and the general health forum.

Here are a few general ways to possibly find a supportive GP:

There are a number of resources to help you find medical care supportive of a reduced carbohydrate way of eating. Some lists include not only medical doctors, but chiropractors, naturopaths, nutritionists, RDs, etc. Some are for general practitioners, some for Obesity specialists. With any recommendation, check the website/reviews or phone the office directly to learn more about the doctor’s philosophy on diet.

Click Find a Clinician. Members may use other non-surgical plans, not necessarily a LC diet but many are now being trained in it by Eric Westman, past president.

Click Find a Practitioner. Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership, though the Diet may not be LC.

I have a long document of dozens of videos, books, article links, and dieticians specifically on using a ketogenic diet for possible cancer prevention. Most of the RD Resources on the Charlie Foundation's list are ones I have also. A newer one they may not have is: Patricia Daly http://patriciadaly.com Melanoma of the eye survivor, Qualified Nutritional therapist, Keto book and course author. Ebook has 14 day meal plan. Consulting services on the Ketogenic Diet for Cancer. Good website and blog with recipes and information about diet/cancer connections. Her newest book:
http://theketogenickitchen.com

It is A document kept up to date for my own oncologist's survivor clinic. Reading the chapter on cancer in Good Calories, Bad Calories is what started me on the long path to low carb ( my light bulb moment ) then ketogenic diets and metabolic therapeutics. Next Metabolic Therapeutics Conference is in Feb. At the 2016 Epigenix Foundation. 26 presentations on Cancer and Ketogenic diets on their YouTube channel, inc. Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s talk, Cancer as a Mitochondrial Metabolic disease. https://youtu.be/PuG5XZSR4vs

You can't pm me until after 25 posts, but if you want to put a scrambled email address here, I would be happy to share it with you.

All the best,
