[QUOTE="serenity648, post: 1519115"] RANT Alert: I get really, really annoyed with people who tell me i should have less than 20g of carbs a day, or I am not treating my condition seriously enough and therefore, by implication, to blame for any repercussions to my health. Or who tell each and every newcomer on here to ditch the carbs, keep to 20g or under, as if it were gospel truth. What a great way to frighten and put people off, not to mention it probably ISNT TRUE for the poster asking for help!!! It may be true for the very low carbers. They may not have other health issues where going so low isnt an option. So why make the '20g a day or nothing' comments the first one they read? What happened to a moderate approach, recommending buying a meter, testing, reading up about carbs so an informed choice can be made, and reasonable starting level set? It should be stamped on by the Mods each time it happens. I report it when I see it. So many on here post sensible, moderate, helpful advice, its a shame a few spoil it by putting their own personal axe grinding before consideration for the feelings and fears on newbies. end of rant - i feel so much better having got that off my chest : ) [/QUOTE]
