Lovely work @Sarahkylie88

@catapillar That's exactly the kind of insightful response I was looking for, thank you for taking the time to provide me with it!

@TorqPenderloin I do agree that we have to be super careful about how we present our information, even if it's exactly the same information but worded differently like you say.....especially with your suing culture over in the states ;) What industry are you in? Out of interest.

I am a student but of molecular biology (we come with a set of anxieties of our own ;) but yeah I guess I do share your brothers way of thinking. Thank you for your kind words.

What an epic post with valuable insight, thanks! Those last few lines were bordering on philosophy, nice work ;)

I guess I'd just share my experience. The way their eyes lit up when I shared my results, it was quite emotional, I wish I could have just poured out what I've learned from my brain to theirs right there and then.

That's exactly how I feel, if I can help others escape some of the downfalls which come with having diabetes, then why shouldn't I? I just didn't want it coming back to bite me that's all.

Let me clarify, I wasn't being demeaning in anyway to this site or any other great resources out there. I was simply asking what makes one liable and another not.

Well that's rude.

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/disclaimer.html Looks like what I said may be accurate, according to sections 2.1 and 2.1.1

So how do these two sources (books and the low carb programme here) give advice without themselves being liable, is it as simple as a disclaimer which negates all responsibility from them should anything go wrong? Such a book or course is surely just personal experience/advice/knowledge...

So I was down at the diabetic clinic today, and after sharing the great results I've had going LCHF a few others approached me at the end and asked if I can help them implement the diet with their own lifestyle. (The dietician and specialist aren't familiar with lchf at all, let alone with...

A few of us are planning a meetup in Glasgow for us youthful and forever-alone type 1's. Obviously anybody is welcome, Reply here is you're interested. BYOB (bring your own bolus)

A lot of times when people make the switch to LCHF it is possible that they are not attaining enough electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. That may explain your headaches and trembling. Are you suffering from muscle cramps at all?

Always consult your physician or diabetes specialist before making any changes, it's important that you use their knowledge and experience.

It's personal preference whether you don't mind eating a lot of carbs and compensating with taking a lot of insulin (and suffering far less stable blood sugar as a result), or eliminating them from your diet, taking far less insulin, extending your honeymoon period and living with less hypos and...

If I were you, I'd start researching the LCHF (ketogenic is another name for it) diet, and think about how you could start working it into your treatment. I'd recommend Dr Richard Bernstein's books or youtube channel, also on www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com there is an ebook you can purchase...

My blood glucose average is 5mmol/litre, with no spikes above 7 in the past month or so. I switched to a LCHF diet almost immediately after being diagnosed, and in my honest opinion it is the best thing any newly diagnosed diabetic can do. No spikes, less needles and less lows. Granted I'm still...

Contrary to popular belief, DKA doesn't occur until much higher levels of ketones. We need to distinguish Ketosis with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Ketosis is a highly natural state to be in, shown in our history as hunter-gatherers.
