[QUOTE="IanD, post: 1268139, member: 6186"] The problem is the DUK pretend that restricting calories works - by contributing to weight loss, with the overriding assumption that weight loss is the primary means for BG control. The obvious point that restricting calories can only be done for a limited time before we become undernourished - & NEED more food - if not fatty foods then xxxxxhydrates. Let me tell you a fairy story ... A person was diagnosed with diabetes ^ the Dr & dietitian gave him DUK booklets to help him manage his condition. "No need to test - we'll test you every year. Don't worry - your results get worse as years go by - after all diabetes is a progressive disease. And whatever you do, DON'T consult Dr Google." After a few years, his condition worsened, Dr prescribed tablets & assured the patient that insulin was available, The risk of blindness, amputation, kidney failure, CVD is ever increasing. Don't worry - it's what I told you to expect. DUK are the experts & they know diabetes is progressive. Patient - "I'll try Dr Google - he's got a lot of info from diabetes patients who are living with the disease." Dr. Google - "If you read the DUK booklets carefully you will see they tell you that all carbs metabolise to glucose & raise your blood sugar, that's why they tell you you must eat carbs with every meal. BUT if you listen to my patients you will find they control & even reduce their blood sugar by cutting carbs out of their diet. They get their energy from good clean fats that come with real food - cheese, nuts, meat etc. Try it & come back for as much advice as you want - no need for an appointment." Patient - "Thanks - I'll try it. I've got nothing to lose except diabetes complications ...." 3 months later. Patient - "Thanks, Dr. Google - LCHF has restored my health." Dr. G. - "Of course - the difference between me & your GP is that I listen to real people with diabetes, rather than self-styled 'experts.' If your GP & the 'experts' at DUK actually listened to feed-back from their patients, they would KNOW the carby diet they recommend doesn't work." Note: 8 years of DUK carby diet was destroying my health. Dr. G. gave me the LCHF advice, & I gave up all the obvious carbs. In THREE months I was out of pain, fit & well - 8 years ago. [/QUOTE]
