    Newly Diagnosed and grumpy

    Could just be that you're rightly pi**ed off about getting the db. Getting it made me very grumpy indeed but it gets better with time.:)

    A Public Answer......

    Nope "strong" is an entirely appropriate word and outing people who try to bully or frighten people via the PM system is an excellent deterrent imo. Its far better to let new people see the potential dangers they can face than bury or censor it out. I've often found it's only people who have...

    You'd be amazed at who has sent me abusive PM's in the past ... If you're getting them it means you are making a difference so keep it up! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    An unsubtle bump to catch any stragglers who may wish to cast their votes.

    Diabetes diet question

    Can we keep my thread on track pretty please with a cherry on top. We wouldn't want to get them locked for straying off the subject would we?

    I have answered that extensively Anna in my reply to Catherine. If you want any more detail then ask Giverny and DCUK. Thank you.

    Diabetes diet question

    I don't think those that came up with the question intend that either. The way the question is worded and the foods listed seem to make it clear it is effectively whether reducing starch has helped people of all diabetic types imo. I would (like most rationale people I suspect) infer that this...

    Diabetes diet question

    With respect Sid both of those threads have been inactive for a number of years so for example the data for one that is measuring how long people have been low carbing is now well out of date. The second poll goes back to the time of the original administration of the site. It has been stated...

    Diabetes diet question

    Hi Douglas well yes and no ... The 6 items were originally intended to be just examples of why people who vote YES would possibly do so but they do seem to have taken on their own lives. I can't really do anything about that though as it is the posters want to post comments as well as vote...

    Diabetes diet question

    I have no control over "lapsed members of another forum". If people are voting on here they must have active DCUK accounts and want to participate. They have as much right to vote as anyone else or totally ignore the threads. As to the purpose then some DUK members (some are also DCUK members...

    Noticed if you are using the App to post you don't get to see the poll at the top of the thread. If you use your browser on your phone or pad you should be able to vote if you want to.

    Do Type 2 diabetics have hypos or not?

    Diabetes doesn't make you hypo it's insulin and the stronger insulin stimulating drugs that can cause it. There was a large UK study on hypos done a few years ago. For hypos that have been serious enough to require medical attention the rate was one person in one thousand people for diet only...

    Diabetes diet question

    Being T2 myself I did take more than four experienced insulin users opinions on how best to frame the list of helpful things. I also took the opinion of more than four experienced T2's as well. I suppose anything like this which involves T1 & T2 is going to end up a bit of a compromise but the...

    Diabetes advice question ...

    Ok I've added "by health care professionals" to make it explicitly clear. The question has nothing to do with the advice you may receive here or any other forum.
