Even when the keto team is very good, the number of patients who drop

out either because of difficulties of maintaining the diet or other

reasons is high, about 33% after 6 months. If you have a situation where

even the neurologist let alone the dietician aren't that supportive,

then you can only conclude that the success rate will suffer.
