Anyone use other low carb forums.

You get nastys everywhere in life I've been in old people sheltered housing and am amazed at the spite that goes on I appreciate any replies I get if not right for me read and move on I think it's really nice when people have found a good way they pass it on with enthusiasm and not just keep it to themselves
 
I completely agree with noblehead. I remember that person well and he was indeed very destructive. Stay well and don't let the ---- get you down.
 
It is awful when this happens...... Stay here is what we will do and support each other......
Bret, hope your ok...
Andy no jelly in eastenders ..........

Seen the below on another forum, and was quite shocked tbh.

Brett a relative newcomer on 300 grams of carb a day, and lot’s of medication, and knows all the answers


What lots of meds am I on? I only take 1 lot of meds which is insulin.
It also states I eat 300 carbs a day, but fails to mention I'm a 6ft 3 active male still trying to build muscle I lost from diagnosis.


“If it works for you great, would disagree that if you eat carbs, take medication to control spikes maintain good control, have regular exercise then its wrong. Just cause it works for you does not mean its the only way which is how it is it is coming across

The above is also what I had written on a previous thread here and got the further comment of


As for the Brett's of this world, if you think a high carb diet and ramming high BG numbers down with lots of medication is the way to go, I recommend a pre-paid funeral plan with the COOP.

Have never stated the above. Have never advised anyone to high carb! Simply my opinion for my control is I don't low carb. Take into account my age, weight activity levels and do I then high carb or simply eat what my body requires and medicate appropriately, more insulin if im not busy,less insulin if I am busy.

Would like to add again, I have no other health issues, and since starting on insulin have actually reversed the slight eye damage I had that was spotted on my very first eye check. 2 years on feel healthier than ever, after alot of ups and downs whilst during out correct basal/bolus ratios and learning what works for me.

Sorry, just needed to put down my thoughts.

LOL, LOL, LOL

Welcome to the weird and wacky world of diabetes fora and blogs.

If you have strong opinions and post them here on DCUK be aware you may get a running commentary on your performance "elsewhere". Doesn't matter whether your views are low carb high fat, low carb low fat, high carb, NHS/DUK supporter, NHS/DUK anti or exercise freaks who believe you get T2 for being fat and lazy there's are many blogs out there ready to **** you off quite rabidly if you stray from their party line and forums who will ban you if you become too threatening to their income stream.

The key thing is to ignore them all and get on with helping fellow diabetics control their condition using whatever method works for them regardless of whatever method works for you.
 
Do you know the best thing about this thread? The use of the phrase 'you can't fix stupid'
Sorry but I do livd that phrase :)
Incidentally, I think I low carb. I'm not sure what classifies as low carb and tbh I don't really care. I just know my body doesn't cope very well with a lot of carny foods.
But... That's my body. Not anyone else's. x
