- People that feel just because diabates is a life-threatening "illness" it should be treated with kid gloves and nobody is allowed to have a laugh. My humour got me through abuse, near death experiences, serious and debilitating illnesses and lifelong pain and deformity - why give up the thing that works??
I recall years ago seeing some so-called "fad" diet which concerned aiming to eat foods from a selected group - based on your own blood type. I looked at it (being overweight for years, I would've tried anything haha) ... and it said that my blood type (very normal O rh + ) was most suited to a highly carnivorous diet ... as a vegetarian for 20 odd years I just cast aside that notion and carried on eating the "healthy high carb low fat" diet touted by all and sundry.
It occured me lately (being diabetic now for nearly 4 months and choosing to assume a reduced carb diet in order to achieve lower BGs) that perhaps diabetes and diet may in fact be related to blood type after all ...
My theory would be that O types with diabetes would be most suited to low-carbing (in terms of successful reduction of BGs)
Right now, it's a theory ... so I wondered if it would be possible to conduct a simple poll just to get some further input? Specifically relating to the intake of carbohydrates.
So, perhaps it might be interesting for us all to conduct a short information study on this subject?
Many thanks for any participation

By successfully, I mean achieving good hba1c results and managing weight with satisfaction.
There are limited number of options available so I have chosen 3 main blood types and offered 3 options for each ... hopefully this might give me some food for thought
Thanks again
