Hanadr,
i wont enter into any discussion involving 'low-carbers' or 'non-low-carbers'. Instead, i offer my thoughts to any and all, without slotting readers into one or other camp.
The issue of how low one can operate does intrigue me. Why is it of merit to 'function' at 3.anything, when the margin that affords is so slight as to risk problems? Surely it is better to conduct one's life at a b.g. level suitably pegged to allow a drop, for whatever reason, that wont present risk?
Bernstein seems to have written a book that is regarded with great esteem by many. I am not among them. To me, he wants the diabetic to lead a life apart from the norm whereas i want to lead my life very much within the norm, as far as i am comfortably and safely able.
As with many things, there are always those who want to compete, if only against themselves, and those for whom life's race isnt a race but a ramble. Guess which type i am?
bunty
