Thank you, sue and Phoenix, for the answers to my question. I'm trying to understand why Eddie Mitchell would say the things he does about this forum and Diabetes UK, that the recommended diets are dangerous to the health of diabetics. Yes, I can see that the diets recommended by Diabetes UK seem to contravene established evidence, and that such a diet might indeed be harmful to one's health.

Some people seem to think that non-diabetic BG levels must be around 5mmol before and after meals, which of course, as we know, is a load of BS. They are also 100% sure that diabetes run the risk of complications if their a1c levels are higher than 5% mmol, which we also know that is a load of BS.
I personally have tested every member of my family and some friends as well whom are all non-diabetics and their BG levels after meals were ALL in the 6s, 7s and some were even in the 's which proves to me that those who claim that we must at all times have BGs in the 5's either don't know what they are talking about or are deliberately scaring people to......whatever, God only knows what or why.
Personally I don't take any notice of these people, I know what's best for me. I follow my own diet and eat the foods my meter says "yeah, that was ok, you can eat that", that includes anything and everything except for the obvious sugary staff like chocolates, sweets etc.
Well, I guess I have given some person/s the excuse to write another "article" in his/her/their blog/s as has happened before. If I carry on like this I'll be famous, for all the wrong reasons of course. :mrgreen: :lol: :roll:
