i had to gain GP signature as my BMI is above 40 - was really worried as i have never seen anybody at this GP surgery as just moved house... but i explained to the receptionist, left my form there and then collected it the next day signed by obviously a very good GP! had no charge to pay.
i was worried for nothing!!!
on day 5 of CD 810 (step 2) - going well so far, first weigh in on monday! eek!
love heidi xx
weeks 1 -6 WI = lost 24.5 lbs
Hi,
I have been wanting to start the CD diet for a while now. I contacted a consultant and was advised due to my BMI being 46 I needed to get my GP to sign the form. So I arranged for a GP appointment, where after 15mins of arguing I was unsuccessful... the GP point blank refused to sign it saying she doesnt endorse it... i did explain i wasnt asking her to endorse it but simply just to agree what i had put on the form was correct... she also emailed other GPs in the practice whilst i was in the room asking if anyone else would sign the form, to which she told me the reply was no.
So i rahter angrily left the Appointment and proceeded to contact the consultant to advise them that my GP would not sign the form and the consultant told me that I would not be able to proceed with the Diet plan.
Over the past few weeks I have had many friends who have been successful with the CD and I am slightly envious that they were able to proceed yet I was not. So i got to researching and found that It is possible to commence without a GP signature until such times my BMI falls below the suitable level to do that lower steps.
SO what I am wondering is... is this possible???
Also I suffer from poly cystic ovarian syndrome, and was wondering if this would be a contraindication to any of the plans and if without a GP signature would I be eligible for the lower caloried plans.
I am desperate to lose weight and like many have failed to achieve this, and not only have i failed to achive it but i have also gained more weight due to low self esteem. I am in a RUT and I very much want to get out of it... hopefully with the help of CD.
If anyone has any help or suggestions I welcome them
Im sure Ive seen people say you can get forms signed privately, it costs around £30 I believe.
Another option would be to do another VLCD which doesnt require the doctors signature, not all of them do
Restarted VLCD - Jan 6 2012
January - 28lbs
February - 9lbs
March - 13lbs
April - 6lbs(2 weeks holiday)
May 6 -9lbs
May 13 - 4lbs

gosh im no expert at all might be worth while ringing round a few cd consultants to see if they have any clients with diabetes and even just call the doctor for advise, hope she gets some answers soon x
Could you not do Atkins or a shop brought vlcd until your bmi hits 40?
You have failed only when you quit trying. Until then, you're still in the act of progression. So, never quit trying and you'll never be a failure.

Can I just point out (I know its an old post) but on the insulin dependance front she couldn't do SS/SS+ or 810 cause she'd go into Ketosis which can be a really serious condition if you're type one diabetic - DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis which is when your in Ketosis but also have raised acid levels in your blood stream) put my partner into intensive care, and has put others into comas or worse.
Goals:
Stick to SS/SS+ for one week: Done!
Stick to SS/SS+ for one month:
Week One: -6lb
Kaitey is right, after all ketostix were designed for diabetics to check they arent in ketosis, not cd'ers to check they are.
The 1000 plan should still give very good results
Mini Goal 1 = Lose the first stone
Mini Goal 2 = Lose 2 stone
Mini Goal 3 - Get into size 20 trousers
Mini Goal 4 - Get BMI below 40
Mini Goal 5 = Lose 3 stone
Weight loss to date = -42lbs
7 weeks until my wedding
30lbs until I can ride my horse

My bmi started over 40 and I did not require a dr signature and I am perfectly fine ! I have no other health conditions though ! It's annoyed me abit as the nhs prescribe a diet to those who need surgery that is v v similar to the Cambridge diet with bmi well over 40 ! The health implications of having a bmi over 40 are risky so any gp should encourage weight loss considering the nhs use similar products and if they would not sign they should have offered alternative support ! Do your research love and head back to that gp armed and ready !!!!!!!!!
