I think you make a very valid point about scientists should accept the outcome of their experiments based on the accepted rules of the scientific method. These lot certainly seem to be ignoring standard practices. For anyone not clear on what the scientific method is just google it and then read...

A typical response from the dodgy DUK. Say what you want but at least the owners of the DCUK site run an honest upfront business unlike DUK that as a charity has relied on dodgy donations from "interested" parties.

It's been a very interesting series Nigel highly recommend you watch it.

I don't know Lucy. I can see its important to keep on topic if its a thread that is someone asking for specific help but in the more general discussions ones I personally think there should be some reasonable leeway just to have a chat even if things meander around a bit. I think that generally...

I agree with you whole heatedly Lucy and I think you make an extremely valid point. The problem is that modern wheat while it has massively increased crop yields has become something different to what it use to be i.e. high gluten or however you want to define it. I see it as a major contributor...

So would I! A brilliant letter Hana thanks for sending it :clap: :clap: :clap:

Oh yes, got to try this one. Thanks Grace :thumbup:

Nor did I Grace but to some advocating a diet that requires you to restrict your carbs so that you get the levels you personally want to achieve makes you a fanatic. I have never found out why and I really don't care. It's not so bad nowadays but when I first joined the forum early on in the...

If we're playing that game then mine is ... sounds familiar ... in the context that everyone one who does LC is a fanatic and wants everyone else to be a fanatic too when nothing could be further from the truth.

Doh, being a dumb T2 whose brain is addled through lack of carbs I don't know what that means. It would appear to mean that I am not allowed to be critical of someone elses posts anymore.

Marvellous! Hopefully it will now start her thinking about what she says to other people. Good luck with the tests. :)

Yes what's difficult about reading the number of grams / 100g of carbohydrates off the back of a packet then multiplying that by the amount of grams of the stuff you are about to eat and dividing that result by one hundred. So for all of you who want to carb count if the packet says the total...

As you know all of us who try to do an essentially diet led approach encourage each other to use what ever method works best for them regardless of our individual choices. . Actually Doug the classic Med diet is a pretty good choice for a T2 as its carbohydrate restricted. Its why, for...

God are you mad! Don't mention the Swedes. I did it once but I think I got away with it ...

Yes can't have one of the forums top low carb performers catching the diabetes TWICE it will make the rest of us look like bl***dy idiots. Pull yourself together and accept your fate. It's a long long life of lard and squirty cream that lays ahead for you me laddie! Where's that blasted sheep...

Looks like its because something else kills them off first Doug. The average lifespan is 54 if you're a man and 60 if your a woman if you believe the World Health Organisation. Perhaps a change in diet might be a good thing to recommend to their government by the sounds of things don't you...

How are you going to prove it? You don't eat any bl**dy carbs. Can't see you swapping all that squirty cream and lard for healthy starches, grains, lovely processed foods and full sugar Coke. Even a GTT test will mean you have to eat, what, 75 times your normal daily carb intake for days to get...

That is still constructively avoiding the point I was trying to impart in my opinion. The following should be read in the context of T2 posters only. At any particular time on this forum there have been a number of frequent posters. If you look back one year there were a set of frequent...

Ok time to be blunt. That's why you should go talk to your doctor as if she believes a high carbohydrate food source such as porridge doesn't effect levels then she's an idiot. If your gp believes the same he's an idiot to and you should go to A&E and see a doctor there. Putting someone on...

That is outrageous. Any insulin using diabetic has to use as many strips as they need and to force you to potentially use a dirty needle is beyond contempt. I would write to your practice manager (all surgeries should have one) and complain. If that doesn't work write to your local PCT or ask...
