[QUOTE="IanD, post: 69569, member: 6186"] Are reduced carbers "malicious?" In my case, I followed the NHS/DUK advice, for 8 years, & I had an education session at the hospital which advised a low fat/sugar/salt diet based on complex (med GI) carbs. I was also frightened & in a state of shock at diagnosis when they told me how the disease would progress. I understood I had the disease that would bring about my death. My Dr approved what I was doing, prescribed MF after 4 years. HBA at diagnosis was 11 & dropped quickly to 8 when diagnosis was confirmed (I gave up sugar as soon as diabetes was suspected.) It never dropped below 6. I lead an active life, & get my exercise playing tennis at club standard. Then the complications started - beginning of diabetic retinopathy, & crippling muscle pain. Then I found this web site. Reduced carbing has cleared the muscle pain, though I hesitate to claim a "cure." The reason for the "reduced carb" campaign, against the standard NHS/DUK diet advice is thus that many of us have found by experience that the predicted onset of complications can be reversed/controlled/eased by a reduced carb diet. [color=#FF0000][b] We therefore believe that the official advice we have lived by for years is in fact flawed. Only by listening to dietary advice from Fergus & others am I physically active again. We want others to benefit from our experience, so that the onset of complications is as far into the future as possible.[/b] [/color] [/QUOTE]
