not necessarily so with type 2's who may have been able to manage without insulin if they had been advised correctly in the past. That's why I specified 'and if type 2....'.I have read on this forum that some T2's who were on insulin were able to stop using it when they followed LCHF.It's the insulin doing the work regardless of what diet you follow, without insulin we wouldn't be here.

OK...... but lets not derail the thread any longer and let the poll run its course.
Does anyone think DUK's dietary advice is good advice?
That's fine if your just wanting to get support for Dr Deakin's modified dietary advice, I thought your intentions were to make DUK change their stance on promoting a HCLF diet, perhaps by showing that people on this forum use other methods of dietary control (not just LCHF) would help to change hearts and minds at DUK.
So the other option I would have included is moderation, as Dr Deakin was promoting when she was talking at the Diabetes UK conference back in 2013..
If you read the quote in the OP you will see Trudi is not being pedantic about LCHF. The aim is to recognise it as an alternative approach to the one bog standard HCLF, & avoid the DUK condemnation of HF. There may be other alternatives, but that would complicate a (hopefully) simple poll.
I voted on my iPad ok. Hope you get it sorted DDIs there a way to do this poll from a tablet or ipad etc?

So do we not want a poll to reflect all the members of this forum, there's two options there but it leaves an important one out, which is why many people may not be able to vote, hence why I've pointed this out to Ian.
Depending on what your diet was before you changed it, the official dietary advice might be a vast improvement (i.e. if you ate massive amounts of take-out high fat/high carb food then switched to the official low fat high carb diet). And if you do manage to follow it to the letter with calorie restriction to lose weight, it can work to lower blood glucose levels, but may not be sustainable by most people.
However, for long-term health, low carb high fat is, in my opinion, better than the official dietary advice.
And, of course, this whole debate hinges on how LCHF is defined.
That doesn't answer my question at all!Have you got the Book?
Using some straight forward and simple logic, if I had Trudi's book I wouldn't be asking the question, unless you assume I'm being an ass. I really don't need another LCHF book. If she doesn't define what low carb is or what high fat is, then never mind my question.Hi @NoCrbs4Me
Yes it does because if you had, it would save me quoting & explaining to you, if you haven't then I will try and be as concise as possible and explain what she says. But I am surprised with all the links you read that you have not acquired this publication.
I think your been a little cheeky here, co's it does not seem much different to what you preach, most of the time, but she does allow degrees, which is exactly what you pointed out earlier with regards to this poll.
