[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 928129, member: 30007"] However, you are disregarding the following: Something like 95% of UK diabetics are unable to achieve an Hba1C below 6.5%, regardless of treatment/eating. It is possible with intensive monitoring and insulin therapy for a T1 to eat what they like and achieve good bloods. It is not straightforward. There are always concerns amongst health professionals that aiming for 6 or below results in increased hypoglycaemic episodes that have there own side effects and drain on resources. Many of your points have been discussed many times on the forum. In general, a lower carb approach tends towards better control for the average person, however it depends on the individual as to whether that is a balanced low carb or LCHF type approach. Ultimately too much of anything is bad, and if you really want control, the only way to do it is through intensive management. [/QUOTE]
