It was implied. rash generalisations are always going to cause offence.

I am not a newcomer on the board so feel that my comments were valid

Have you looked at some of the posts in the low carb forum? It doesn't take rocket science to work out what I am talking about. But we aren't allowed to challenge things without our posts being deleted.

Is it a good idea to have moderators on this sub forum who are blatantly anti high carb? Esp when they go onto the other forum and poke fun at those of us who don't follow the Bernstein Bible.

I must agree with nemesis on this. We're not all porkers who think our use of insulin means we can eat what we want when we want and I take offence at Dennis's remarks

lol at milkshake. I wish. But saying that if I want a milkshake then I'll have one, even though I put myself through a little test before hand. I wait 10 minutes and then decide if I still want whatever it is I fancy. Sometimes in that 10 minutes I've gone off the idea, sometimes I make myself...

Just a quickie. I too can't eat fruit without my sugars going loopy but I adore grapes. I put a few grapes in the freezer - I know it sounds odd lol. But freezing them they become like a boiled sweet and it satisfies my need for fruit without affecting my sugars. I can generally manage 3 at a...

Everything in moderation is the way to go. Well it is for me anyway lol. I went for months with not really eating at all - probably where the 12 stone weight loss came from and I found that if I didn't eat my sugars just went up and up. I now know that I need carbs to get my insulin to work. No...

Pot, Kettle, Black. When you go away on Holiday, you took your metformin and starlix as you ate far too many carbs!!! Luckily, some of us aren't of the Lemming Genus

Sorry, didn't click the right thing. Have changed it now

I am type 2

Tresspassers Will Be Prosecuted :lol:

Am so pleased it worked. I found it invaluable for toothache and there's now always a tube of it in the house. I found that the pain seems to go for a good few hours and it enabled me to sleep through the night which in turn helped. I always find pain harder to deal with when I'm tired. I know...

I must confess having read his book I can't see what all the fuss is about. I too have heard that he spends most of his time in hypo's though I can't recall exactly where I saw it, so I have to agree with Ally. I don't like the fact that for many people on this forum it's Bernstein's Way or...

What is it with the Bernstein Bible?? As far as I am aware he is only one of thousands of people who have written books about diabetes. Does he walk on water? Perhaps I've been misdiagnosed as according to Bernstein I've got Diebetes as I am not following his ten commandments. Am looking for...

I used to be huge, but have luckily lost 12 stone. I didn't follow any particular diet, but ate what I had always eaten but in much smaller quantities. I bought myself a much smaller plate, so even with less food the plate looks full and it fools me into thinking I'm eating more than I am...

There's nothing wrong with a bit of self flagellation every once in a while :wink:

Sorry, I should have read some posts before jumping to conclusions. For the toothache, may I recommend Oralgel. I have a lot of trouble with my teeth and I too have often been in tears with the pain. Toothache is horrible because you can't get away with it. Anyways I bought some Oralgel in...

I have horrendous problems with my eyesight as my sugars are invariably far too high. I bought a pair of the cheapo reading glasses for a couple of quid and find them invaluable esp when I'm out and need to read a label on something. I did check with my optician but she said that it wasn't...

I must confess that I don't low carb if possible. Thanks to a very good friend who has had diabetes for nearly as many years as I've beeen alive ( sorry :lol: ) I have much more insight into diabetes and controlling Blood Sugar Levels. I have found that if I don't eat carbs my BS goes through...
