[QUOTE="IanD, post: 527444, member: 6186"] From the Diabetes UK "Position Statement on Low carb." Diabetes UK recommends that: [LIST] [*]A range of approaches to weight loss should be considered with the overall aim of energy intake being less than energy expenditure; and that the most appropriate method to achieve this is identified between the person with diabetes and their dietitian. [/LIST] [LIST] [*][COLOR=#ff0000][B]When considering a low-carbohydrate diet as an option for weight loss, people with diabetes should be made aware of possible side effects such as the risk of hypoglycaemia[/B][B], head-aches, lack of concentration and constipation.[/B][/COLOR] [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Diabetes control should be considered and blood glucose levels need to be closely monitored with adjustments to medications as required. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Nutritional adequacy should be considered ensuring that optimal amounts of vitamins, minerals and fibre are supplied by the diet. [*]The amount of carbohydrate to be restricted should be agreed between the person with diabetes and their dietitian. [/LIST] Note DUK speaks of low carb for weight loss rather than BG control. In six years, [B]NONE of those possible side effects have affected me. The health improvement has been massive. [/B] [/QUOTE]
