[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 265800, member: 40343"] Jopar You and I know that I could go off and find many similar criticisms of the GI system. I picked one. You can either believe that the article was written by the same Dr Freeman or not. I'm sure the readers of this thread can make their own judgement about that and judge the quality and professionalism of the lady making that statement. The second article we agree on. It just shows like many other studies weight loss can be achieved by adopting any one of a number of sensible diets not just necessarily a low GI one. Sorry the third one has a link to the research I found that works cos I just tried it. I apologise if I assumed you follow a GI regime if you don't that's your choice... As a T2 the diet I choose to give me long term control is my choice. Elsewhere on this forum I have written about my long term thoughts on this. To summarise. I wish to get to a good healthy weight, quite low in fact. I do not want to take medication that would turbo charge my pancreas and shorten its lifespan. The reason? At some point your comments may turn out to be true. I might want to start eating a higher carb diet. At that point I would rather choose an insulin option combined with a semi working pancreas as then the amount I would need to inject would be minimised. This is every T2's ultimate choice but it is a choice that is taken away from so many people by the current system. Using my plan I will be making that choice from a position of healthy weight, a position where I have had to learn to control my diet and importantly at a time of [u][b]MY[/b][/u] choosing and not when I am forced to go down that route because the health service has tried its best to ruin my pancreas with it starchy carb but don't worry take these meds message. That is the old T2 is a "progressive disease message". It is a depressing self perpetuating message pushed by the NHS in this country. I will fight it every inch of the way. [/QUOTE]
