    Carbohydrates as an addiction

    True. Never heard anyone say in truth that they are addicted to either salt or fat. Not sure if there can be an emotional attachment to ether.

    Need advice on injections, particularly weekly ones and their side effects

    Without naming the drug it is going to be hard for anyone to give advice.

    FreeStyle Libre, Vitamin C & Aspirin

    Both vitC and glucose use the same pathway (GLUT1). In the presence of too high a level of glucose vitamin C loses out. Lowering the amount of carb in your diet so lowering the bg gives VitC improved absorption rate.

    You can eat your normal diet

    It depends very much on what stage one is diagnosed. I must have been T2 for quite some time but I presented with no symptoms and was diagnosed after a routine blood test. There are others like me and there are those who are so afraid of the condition that they hide their hands in the sand...

    Lower carb diet and calories ?

    Put simply, with Type 2 Diabetes it is not a question of having a problem with metabolising calories. It is a problem with metabolising carbohydrates.

    Insulin resistance wrt to Type 1 and LADA? Hogwash of the first order! Type 1 is an autoimmune condition. I stopped reading at that point because I have more important things to do with my time, I have dishes to wash!

    So... a vegetarian/vegan diet?

    Satisfied but not overfull. It can take some people a while to 'get it'.

    Obesity Code or Diabetes Code?

    I had a chance to listen to The Obesity Code read by the man himself (full version) on YouTube for free. Don't know if it is still available on that format but worth searching for it.

    You can eat your normal diet

    People often stall, the reasons are sometimes unclear. Weightloss is about carbs and about insulin, you do the maths. What is clear is that you are free to choose which macro to adjust.

    Has it occurred to you that your 'moderate' carb level may not be moderate enough, just a thought.

    To forego satiety is a sure way to failure. You may as well just use CICO.

    You can eat your normal diet

    Not really if you put satiety into the equation. Is it actually physically possible to overeat on fats alone taking into account the very, very low insulin response to fats wrt to gaining bodyweight? Because we are all different whether we are aiming for weight loss, improved bg or both this...

    Preventing weight loss by protecting bodyfat stores. I do not see how you can miscronstrue DCUKs comment. Low carb to control bg but enough fats for satiety and for fuel.

    You can eat your normal diet

    Fat does not make you fat. Higher carbs than that which your body can tolerate plus fats can make you gain weight. Think insulin responses and this becomes clear.

    You can eat your normal diet

    It is more important imo that everyone is given a least a choice of using dietary interventions at diagnosis of Pre Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes. Whether someone thinks I personally go too far is immaterial because I am pro choice. When people say that moderate carbs are great then they also...
