[QUOTE="IanD, post: 677835, member: 6186"] They've done it again with the Nov/Dec issue: Letters pp 50-51 "Carb control" [INDENT]Type 1 diag in 1988 at 25 Weight rose to 19 st (121 Kg) With GP's approval cut out all sugar & starch after 1 year - lost 4 st (25 Kg) & HbA1c & chol improved & don't need to count carbs ---- [B]I'm surprised low carb diets aren't recommended .... This is a simple seemingly healthy solution & it works for me.[/B] Editor replies: It's brilliant that you're feeling better DUK realise that some T1s reduce the amount of carbs in their diet [B]a low carb diet is not recommended[/B] for T1s because there is not enough evidence about its effectiveness on longer-term health. Also .... could impact on cardiovascular & kidney health ...[/INDENT] When will DUK begin to listen to their supporters? An every increasing number come to this forum, learn about carb reduction, try it & get the benefit with improved health & control. DUK know that diabetes is progressive, which, of course, means that their diet recommendations result in a deterioration of long term health. Why will they not put together a low carb diet to be offered to both newly diagnosed, & long term patients with poor control & complications as an alternation to their regular diet? I've been low carb for 6 1/2 years, & that cleared the complications I was suffering from 8 years with the DUK diet. Also, I have been a subject of a long running UCL health project "SABRE" & the latest comprehensive scans on heart, liver, etc, blood test & physical tests indicate NO SIGNIFICANT ABNORMALITIES REQUIRING INVESTIGATION. The previous tests were 4 years ago, with the same results. Does that count as a long term study? [/QUOTE]
