Questions worth asking your clinician

Take these with you. Appointments are short, and the things that matter most are easy to forget once you are in the room.

  1. Should I be seeing a dietitian alongside this, and can you refer me?
  2. Are any of my current medications affected by eating less?
  3. What should I do about my usual supplements?
