[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1435542, member: 245335"] The HF bit isn't for everyone and our individual experiences will all be different, mine certainly is and I know that I am not alone. Perhaps I'm on my own but in the 20 years since diagnosis my HbA1c results have always been OK, and my own monitoring has usually been OK as well. That changed to excellent after lowering my carbs but then took a turn for the worst last year when I increased my fat intake in an effort to comply with my GP's request to eat more. How to they work out the bit in bold. I'm obviously very ignorant but what sort of diabetic related things do type II diabetics go sick with.or are they just saying that diabetics have this much sick leave and it must be diabetes related. I've seen the statement several times and never with any empirical evidence. Do you have any? If it's an estimate then can I see their calculations, they might have got their sums wrong! That's the problem, it isn't that straight forward as we keep seeing on this forum, we are all different. Eat less might be the answer for some and not others, eat low carb is alright for some and not others. What seems to be more important is knowing what sort of person you are. Big/little eater, high/low carbs. Plus don't forget, even low carb isn't the whole answer for everyone. [/QUOTE]
