Not sure what has got your goat but others have said Ken was a prolific poster on here and then he suddenly 'does not exist'. This forum is a community and the well being of others is a consideration for some of us. Thanks for your opinion, but that is all it is, opinion. The fact that some...

Just noticed that he no longer exists. Did he jump or was he pushed? :?:

I think we've evolved to have periods of fasting, that's why diabetes is so prevalent in western societies, it's over consumption, some blame carbs some blame fat but it is overconsumption. It may be healthier to 'starve' for a short while than leaving the subjects organs clogged up with fat...

Welcome to all the new mods! :D

Agree, great map. Surprised to see Australia that hue.

Don't wish to be a doom monger, but I'd be concerned if my BG was going into double figures on a regular basis, no matter how short a period. Beans are definitely out for me. :(

I think the best thing we can do for the new mods is to not keep harping back to the past, or by bringing whatever nonsense is posted elsewhere back to this forum time and again. A line needs to be drawn. The new mods need a fair crack at the whip, we can help them in that by concentrating on...

I don't want to come across as sanctimonious but I actually do find it easy. I do get mad carb cravings some times, sometimes I give in (usually involves 3 ryvittas, cheese, tomato and butter). My point wasn't that it was easy though,just the notion that suddenly the experts think diet might be...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona There's clearly a lot of history here but I would maintain that a place where professionals can debate a topic would be an invaluable resource. It's not for us to decide which professionals that have a voice here and which don't. That...

I was reading it in The Guardian. I had to smile at the bit where it says the study has overturned conventional thought by showing that diet can be used to reverse diabetes. Low carbers have known that for years! :D :D :D

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I low carb and not found many professionals that would agree with me :D but I have looked at all the information out there and decided for myself what was best for me. I don't want to mention names but there is one particular...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I totally agree Sue, but clearly others on the board have their own personal issues that mean that they can't achieve that. I can understand that members want the forum to be for diabetics by diabetics, but then we do have the issue...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona Hhhhmmmm bit of a tricky one Sue, given the 'we are all different mantra' here. Lot's of people here are happy with such a Hba1c, there was a debate on it just recently, are you saying that the promotion of such Hba1cs shouldn't be...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona Like I said,it's easy to rubbish professionals that we don't agree with. Personally I'd like to hear both sides of the debate. It shoudn't be down to the whim of individuals how much respect professionals are shown. If a person has...
