[QUOTE="Synonym, post: 117574, member: 22966"] I don’t see myself as a low carber as I am still finding my way, although I have had to cut out the starchy carbs and now get mine from fruit and vegs in the main. Yes the article is interesting although it is not really clear where the starting point is. Looking at this part: “Cardiff University researchers looked at GP data on nearly 50,000 diabetes patients aged over 50, who had had their treatment regimen intensified to either a combination of oral therapies or a combination including insulin.” If it says 'intensified' that surely indicates that there was already a treatment in place and I wonder what treatments they were. Is there are any other information that indicates the start position? :? I don’t think it will be a surprise to anyone that to overdo anything is risky but if you get really low BG levels as a result of cutting out something that makes you feel ill there isn’t a great choice really as you can either: 1. Concentrate on keeping your levels to the higher perceived safe zone which may cause you to feel rough and ultimately you will then probably die from possible diabetes complications :( OR 2. You can keep your levels down below (or even above) the perceived safe zone and perhaps enjoy a better quality of life through not feeling rough and die from "any cause". :( HOWEVER, as we are all going to die I think I would primarily like to enjoy my life in the meantime so would choose to eat in the way that will give me the chance of good health to be able to do so. Basically I will make my choices based on as much knowledge as I can obtain and by self testing. 8) [/QUOTE]
