Message: <blockquote data-quote="Boo1979" data-source="post: 1766411" data-attributes="member: 446715">Experiments are always good to undertake, particularly when diabetes throws a curve ball by changing the familiar ways our body behaves as, from my experience, it will do more than once over the course of  our diabetic journeys.I have no problem with people being advised to experiment with dietary, medication, exercise or any other change in the pursuit of  improved health. My problem starts when a) a positive outcome is implicitly or explicitly assumed /promised b) all of the scientific aspect of an experiment ( ie data gathering to set alongside and test  the theory ) is forgotten and people are just told to change their diet without any acknowledgment that it might or might not be the right thing for that individual and no advice given on how to test and evaluate the impactThere are also some theories that cutting out grains can do people harm in terms of reduced fibre and Bvitamin intake - I dont personally find those theories relevant as I ensure high fibre intake from low carb sources and also take Bvit supplements but I wouldnt rubbish / ignore the basic premis that excluding grains can cause problems  either</blockquote>
