[QUOTE="Bellx15, post: 291765, member: 26391"] Yes, I've had the carb diet from my nurse already, and as you will know, it is in the official NHS leaflet. It doesn't make any sense to me either, and I am frankly dumbfounded that the NHS just seems to blindly hang onto it. There's a great series of videos (five parts) on YouTube here: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrHKk5l7ju4&feature=autoplay&list=PL99385E035F727BB9&playnext=6]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrHKk5l7 ... playnext=6[/url] What this guy explains is all what I thought already, as a matter of common sense. My high BGs developed because my lifestyle was appallingly unhealthy - regular drinking and zero exercise. It doesn't follow that it is not reversible by way of an appropriate readjustment in lifestyle. Certainly, it is possible to re-establish healthy BG levels with diet and exercise (I've already done it), but further, I don't see any evidence that the insulin resistance is irreparable either. By the way, I am equally sceptical about the NHS's motives for pushing the carbs. I taught medical ethics at postgrad level for a number of years, and my degree of scepticism got worse the more I looked into it. [/QUOTE]
