Anyone want to complete this survey (on UK T2 remission)?

[Ryhia]

Done, but was never offered meds yet was asked to indicate:

11. How important were these factors in motivating you to start a low carbohydrate diet (Low carb diet)?
With 0 being not at all important and 10 being extremely important

*
*
*To come off/reduce my diabetes medication (including tablets or insulin)
*
This was a required field so could not ignore.

 

[Listlad]

Done.

Great idea. Thanks Deb.

Just maybe Diabetes UK will come around to being on the same page with T2 diabetes symptom reversal as Diabetes.co.uk

Their sponsors may disagree...

Same here. Ah well, we tried, at least.

I did do it, I just picked one of the other choices...

They might. Then again they might not. It is worth the effort though. I see this as a positive move to help instigate change.

Is the focus only on weight reduction, as the opening sentence states? If so then any contributions I make will be pointless since I gained weight in beating my type 2

I like you Jim had little or no concern about my weight, the opening gambit almost put me off doing the survey

I added lots of comments in the free text boxes, not necessarily what they were asking for but what I needed to say at that point in the questionnaire

Done.

I also made the point that knowing carbs raised my glucose levels, if I was stupid enough to start eating too many again I'd likely end up back with diabetic level hbA1cs again.

For the "remission or reversed" question, I put "recovering" as my word of choice. It is the a same word as alcoholics use when they are off the booze.

Apologies if it has already been posted.

Great opportunity to give feedback to DUK

Done but could not prove a possible remission before diagnosis in my youth. Symptoms when I was 6yrs old but no interest in when self managed and self medicated with severe food restriction and extra exercise to combat severe obesity. Diabetes symptoms ignored by GPS in children in 1970s.

Just done.

Maybe change the thread title to mention T2 and in the UK ? As a T1, I get a bit discouraged when I find out it's for T2s and involves remission .... (Not that I'm not happy that T2s are in remission, it's great, but I guess I feel a little left out...)

Done. Sorry for any upset.

 

[Debandez]

i have changed the thread title, as requested @EllieM.
I agree that it is important to make the distinction clear.

I added UK. Hope this is ok.

 

[EllieM]

Done. Sorry for any upset.

Perfect, thanks very much. (No real upset, I was just being a bit of a drama queen.)

 

[Bluetit1802]

Done.

 

[Listlad]

Bumping this thread for continued visibility.

You had every right. I do love a bit of drama! But time and a place and I was out of place. I'm on auto pilot!

Hi All, where would be the best place to share a market research survey for a new insulin storage product project I'm involved in? Thanks!

You want to get in touch with @DCUKMod and get permission to post something like that. If you just plunk it on the forum it'll be removed, I think... Needs approval first.
