I saw a person ( can't use the word member, because) who posted yesterday and noticed it has 'guest', how can that happen ?
I will try and locate it.

Certainly it’s a little bit of a problem area. I for one would welcome some sort of solution. I have decided going forward to not contribute in anything even remotely autoimmune related, so a quick glance would certainly save everyone time. I upset someone so badly yesterday that they were complaining about my avatar
Your avatar is great. We all upset others at one time or another, here and elsewhere. Your posts have been very helpful, insightful and useful to me (a type 1). Lots of people find the low-carb advice even though aimed here at type 2s very useful for type 1s who've had difficulties pairing insulin intake with carbs eaten. I realize there are some who are tired of hearing about Dr Bernstein but he and his huge following have been a guiding light for me. Remember what they say - if you're afraid of treading on toes, you'll never dance.
ETA: last sentence not really applicable to the subject matter - just an explanation of my rationale for wanting to avoid anything and everything T1 related.
Ha. We laugh, but yesterday I was accused of attacking people based on my avatar pointing the finger at them

Oh I feel sad you say that but I understand. Personally I appreciate type 2 input. I would say as low carbing type 1 Ive received more supportive comments and reactions from type 2s than type 1s and that certainly meant something to me, but I understand your reaction. It’s a sensitive topic.
Crikey! I hope I do not upset <<<Insert User Name>>> with my avatar @Jim Lahey, with a few drops of blood spurting out of a finger.Ha. We laugh, but yesterday I was accused of attacking people based on my avatar pointing the finger at them
I can answer that one quite simply, The member is still with us.
But he can explain better in his own words here. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/back-on-line.163920/
Hope this helps.
I saw that and assumed the person had deleted their account but were back reading the forum as a guest at the time I saw it.

That's a very good decision, Jim.
T1 is an incredibly complex condition with dozens of variables to manage.
The T1 community here tries to guide newly dx'd T1s through those.
It really doesn't help when someone with an entirely different medical condition pitches in and says, do low carb and it'll all be fine.
There are deep complexities in T1 management which other types will never understand.
A lot of the advice given on this site, especially about low carbing, seems to be from people who've béen doing this for a few years.
Many of us have been doing this for decades, 20, 30, 40 years. Have some respect for folks who have managed T1 for extended periods perfectly well without doing extremely restricted diets.
But it is definitely one of my favourite images on the forum! And i have to admit that my avatar is somewhat misleading as I'm far too old and decrepit to skip now...Not only do I not look like my profile picture, but neither does my human companion look like me : )))))
