Not sure what has got your goat but others have said Ken was a prolific poster on here and then he suddenly 'does not exist'. This forum is a community and the well being of others is a consideration for some of us. Thanks for your opinion, but that is all it is, opinion. The fact that some...

Just noticed that he no longer exists. Did he jump or was he pushed? :?:

I think we've evolved to have periods of fasting, that's why diabetes is so prevalent in western societies, it's over consumption, some blame carbs some blame fat but it is overconsumption. It may be healthier to 'starve' for a short while than leaving the subjects organs clogged up with fat...

Welcome to all the new mods! :D

Agree, great map. Surprised to see Australia that hue.

Don't wish to be a doom monger, but I'd be concerned if my BG was going into double figures on a regular basis, no matter how short a period. Beans are definitely out for me. :(

I think the best thing we can do for the new mods is to not keep harping back to the past, or by bringing whatever nonsense is posted elsewhere back to this forum time and again. A line needs to be drawn. The new mods need a fair crack at the whip, we can help them in that by concentrating on...

I don't want to come across as sanctimonious but I actually do find it easy. I do get mad carb cravings some times, sometimes I give in (usually involves 3 ryvittas, cheese, tomato and butter). My point wasn't that it was easy though,just the notion that suddenly the experts think diet might be...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona There's clearly a lot of history here but I would maintain that a place where professionals can debate a topic would be an invaluable resource. It's not for us to decide which professionals that have a voice here and which don't. That...

I was reading it in The Guardian. I had to smile at the bit where it says the study has overturned conventional thought by showing that diet can be used to reverse diabetes. Low carbers have known that for years! :D :D :D

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I low carb and not found many professionals that would agree with me :D but I have looked at all the information out there and decided for myself what was best for me. I don't want to mention names but there is one particular...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I totally agree Sue, but clearly others on the board have their own personal issues that mean that they can't achieve that. I can understand that members want the forum to be for diabetics by diabetics, but then we do have the issue...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona Hhhhmmmm bit of a tricky one Sue, given the 'we are all different mantra' here. Lot's of people here are happy with such a Hba1c, there was a debate on it just recently, are you saying that the promotion of such Hba1cs shouldn't be...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona Like I said,it's easy to rubbish professionals that we don't agree with. Personally I'd like to hear both sides of the debate. It shoudn't be down to the whim of individuals how much respect professionals are shown. If a person has...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I think it is a good idea but only if those professionals' qualifications can be validated in some way. There's lot's of differing opinions about diabetes management on here and it's easy to attempt to rubbish someone on here just...

Hi Benedict, can't find any reference to the promotion of low carb in the rules above. What's the difference between discussing low carb and promoting it? I presume I can tell people about my success using low carb? But then surely that's promoting it? You could argue that any discussion of low...

I have nowhere assumed that people are eating lots of carbs, that doesn't mean that I think the advice isn't flawed. Base your meal around quality protein, add some good fats, then as much fibrous veg as you can get away with then lastly consider starchy carbs. That would be advice more fitting...

In all honesty Ray I have no interest in falling out with Sid. I do object to being referred to as 'people like you' by a complete stranger however. I really can't be bothered with this low carb/non carb war that goes on here. I couldn't care less what regimes people follow as long as their...

Perhaps you should debate the topic not attack me as a person. You know nothing about me. If you are going to put yourself on a soapbox about how people are treated on here maybe you should follow your own advice? How can I misinterpret 'base your meals around starchy carbs' which is EXACTLY...
