[QUOTE="alisonatwallsend, post: 1462594, member: 306058"] sorry - sent that before finishing the message by mistake. I felt the course is now OUT-DATED and severely biased. I felt that not many people there would succeed following their limited advice. As we know 'what suits one person may not help another', so they COULD and should have broadened the possible diets and lifestyle changes that others could try! Indeed so far I have not found much support from NHS diabetic staff/doctors in general - they just want to put everyone on medication - possibly an easy option for them!? They are at least 'negative' and non-committal on LC/HF - won't support it but don't stand in your way if one wants to 'go it alone' and try the LC/HF lifestyle change. They said - "but what do you do after the 12 weeks???" - Answer "It's a Lifestyle change, not just another diet fad". Obviously they have not done more up-to-date research and considered alternative methods (nor does anyone want to consider the possibility that the information they had 40 years ago might not have been correct; that there may be better lifestyle changes out there which could be more sustainable for some people faced with Type 2 diabetes). I have lost nearly 4 stone and at my last results (last summer) I had almost reversed my diabetes and was told I did not need to take the Metformin. It has been hard over the winter to manage, but I really want the next 'yearly tests' to see how I did over that period. I have now found 3 COOKBOOKS which have 'opened my eyes' and really made me understand the foods I need to eat to stay healthy (proteins, fats, and Green veg & nuts for fibre). etc. I don't starve, am never hungry, I am fitter at 60+ than I have been in years; am mentally alert; race up hills and walk my dogs for hours - before going to work. I FEEL GREAT, and all without recourse to meds! It's worth considering that there are other ways to control/possibly reverse your diabetes. [/QUOTE]
