[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 864516, member: 41816"] And then there are the many, like myself, who give up carbs and [I][B]remain [/B][/I]diabetic. It really isn't my intention to derail, or be confrontational, but with the current popularity for 'reversing' diabetes, I always feel I have to speak up for those of us type 2s who can control our blood glucose with low carb but whose diabetes is not (and may never have been) reversible. I think the recent rise in popularity for low carbing is wonderful. It's a step forward, and it's common sense. But I can also foresee a time when low carbing is used as a stick to beat people. [INDENT]'Still diabetic? You must be eating too many carbs. Eat less!' 'I can't. I'm living on coconut and olive oil, kale and oily fish.' 'You are still fat so you must be cheating. Try harder!'[/INDENT] Sorry. Apparently it is my turn to rant, this evening. (Says the woman who has been low carbing for most of the last 30 yrs, and who is still fat, and still type 2) [/QUOTE]
