[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1791531, member: 196898"] <<<>>> I think that the nutrition advice came originally from the wartime era. At that time, being diabetic was just that, there was no real distinction between T1D and T2D et al. The treatment for ALL was the same. Insulin and yet more insulin, So a diet with carbs made sense at that time. The Banting Diet was only aimed at treating epilepsy (and is still used today for that) PHE and NICE need to get their heads around the fact that home monitoring is possible and useful and that for both sets of diabetics, then a low carb eat to meter approach can work for a lort of patients. But they are stuck in the days of yore and not willing to do any sensible research into this. Pity, coz its killing people unecessarily. But it sustains employment for a lot of fat cats and professors. I remember the argument put forward as to why the Gov does not ban smoking outright is because they cannot afford to lose the tax revenue stream. Edit to add: Apologies, I just clicked the general reply button, but it seems to have attached me to a posting by KK123. I have deleted that text to avoid confusion since mine is a non sequiteur. Edit to Edit: I think Cortana is upset with me coz I refuse to talk to her. I don't talk to the walls either. I talk to myself but only while I am winning the argument. [/QUOTE]
