Any low carb dieticians or doctors in Ireland?

For managing type 2 diabetes. Preferably in Louth.

The only low carb advocate seems to be a Dr Neville Wilson in Maynooth?

Is that correct?

A bit too far away, but could give him a try if there's nobody closer.

Fed up reading news headlines about the effectiveness of a low carb diet for diabetes but very few health professionals seem to be on board with it in this country.

It's for my elderly mum.

Thanks,

I know it is a while since your post but I went on this CODE course in Drogheda, its a group thing, doctor sent me on it. Woman giving it knew what she was talking about. Maybe ask doctor to get on it.
Or ring them. It is worthwhile. Need to go once a week or something to a group session so maybe not suitable.

Also just go to Amazon and buy a few books about diabetes eating (NOT low carb diet), the basic ideas are the same as what a dietician would tell you., just avoid the "miracle cure" type books.

Neville Wilson is not an expert in this area and he recommends things that are, at best, questionable. He's not a specialist in anything and he is not a qualified GP, despite what his website would suggest: http://medicalcouncil.ie/Public-Information/Check-the-Register/Search-Results/?regno=201186&doctorid=30028988
