[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 624956, member: 21149"] I'm surprised at your comment that some of the answers are very ill informed. I've been on this forum for several years and in my opinion the standard of comment from a wide range of posters is very high. This and one or two other forums and sources provide a very good source of information and guidance. It may even have been me who replied about the muscle and leg weakness; can't remember! Quite a few people come to this site not surprisingly in an emotional state and it is important not to send them away believing that magic crystals will cure them. I believe it is important to focus in on the key issues. Many will have come from GPs/DNs having been offered very little information and left adrift. We can and do provide for many some context for their condition and the way forward. I have seen very little conflicting advice particularly over the last year or so. Where else can people go to get more information? Some GPs and DNs are excellent including my DN but previous GPs have been poor. I'm a member of DUK but find their advice quite limited at times and constrained by establishment views. You will find very limited recognition, for example, about late onset T1 in the 'established' support areas and then there is the dreadful advice given to many to eat plenty of carbs. [/QUOTE]
