Sad to read you feel that way. I know it is not something you would do lightly. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

I agree that the article is rubbish
 
@Brunneria has given you good advice with regard to getting great ideas and recipes from @Avocado Sevenfold
I was the opposite from you in the sense of being a meat eater etc; for a lifetime. When I got diagnosed with type 2, I then went on this vegan type diet and it has worked well with my controls etc;
I hope nobody will be stupid enough to read a newspaper clip to solve their diabetes.
I think the people on this Forum seem to lay true cards on the table with regards to facts.
Many said LCHF was rubbish, not now.

Methinks you're milking this confused stuff a tad too much....
 
Nope didn't buy it in the end, read your links and thought there are better things to waste my money on, this is scaremongering at its best I'm well into fish bacon and any type of meats that I can eat, I've never liked pasta or anything like that. My son became a vegetarian last Christmas and is into Quorn and it looks and tastes disgusting, (no offence to veggies or vegans everyone to their own). So I'll stick to my Low Carb diet as best as I can.
 
For the last time, NO. This study found that if you feed people non-meat diet (with loads of carbs) then hba1c goes down by 0.5% (e.g. If it was 7% or 53 befor, it will on average be 6.5% or 47 afterwards).
The fact that this baffles you is of no consequence - for choosing which intervention is best, you might as well assume that it's magic pills made from fairy dust. An intervention making sense is neither neccessarily nor suffient (if you disagree, make sure to refuse anesthesia the next time you have major surgery)
