I do not indent to blame indiscriminately all addicts, (perhaps a problem not to be a native speaker)
But eating not LCHF is not like being addiced to anything neither carbs.
And more important, to me many phrases here sounds like blaming:
He is choosing his likes over his health
it depends whether he's in denial or is just uninformed. ...I used to assume people must be wilfully ignoring advice, but I've learnt some people just aren't as aware as most people here.
My point being that the person needs to want to stop abusing themselves
Anyone would know coke is bad. The only time you'd drink something like coke is if you were having a hypo and needed that sugar.
totally pointless in trying to help someone who clearly doesn't want to help themselves
is the norm as so many people don't want to accept advice
type 2 diabetes is insulin abuse
It's understandable if your life isn't touched by the condition to remain fairly ignorant of it
I DO NOT DENY that some of these mentioned diabetics have hugh problems - but it sounds to me these problems are not or not only eating carbs:
same problem with two women at work One, age 23, is injecting insulin but doesn't like to test her BG, doesn't carb count as such but 'guesstimates' how much to inject. ... but a day or so later she went to the DN who said she shouldn't test if it worries her and then repeated the party line about needing carbs at every meal.
Edited to add .. He was also ordered not to test his own blood sugars as apparently he would not be able to understand what the numbers mean ! So would not even try my meter
Yes, eating
too much carbs - particularly bad ones like chips, crisps, sugar ... - is not healthy, not for a diabetic and not for everyone else. But eating them from time to time or eating carbs like bread, potatoes, rice is not as toxic as it is described here.
If and when you can control it with insulin! (If not, you have a problem, no word from me to deny this.) This is not the way of LCHF (and I believe LCHF works for you!) but it is neither the highway to hell.
