I concede that point John, sorry to be such an idealist! D.I accept that, but I was giving him as an example of an athletic T2 not as an exempelar.

Me? No, I don't Bant. I am just winging itPut his book in the smallest room in the house - someone will find a wee use for it. OR tear the pages out and hang them on a nail next to the throne - then wait for the penny to drop.
Personally I look on it as being a condition or ailment. (alimentary of course). His advice is not that far removed from what the Newcastle Diet people are claiming, so he is closer to the mark compared to many so called 'experts'. I have not yet given up all my meds yet, but diet changes have allowed me to significantly reduce my pill count, and my GP is asking me to take the next step and drop another pill from my scrip Far cry from 18 months ago when I was being referred for insulin therapy as a last resort.
I just wish said learned gentleman would define what he means by diet. I believe he is in the Eatwell#2 camp, which I don't think is helpful. But then we are all on a learning curve. Do you Bant?
It used to be called "Sugar Diabetes" (in my lifetime) and centuries ago (NOT in my lifetime for the avoidance of doubt ) "The Devils P155ing"Both type 1 and type 2 are very serious conditions, sadly there is nothing that can be done to cure my type 1, but type 2s can do a lot more, i think he was saying that type 2 should be given different name as it does confuse people
Nothing wrong with being an idealist.I concede that point John, sorry to be such an idealist! D.
Seems to me that confuse the medical profession too.Both type 1 and type 2 are very serious conditions, sadly there is nothing that can be done to cure my type 1, but type 2s can do a lot more, i think he was saying that type 2 should be given different name as it does confuse people

I just couldn't resist the opportunity to use example and exemplar in the same sentence.
Point taken.Cancer can't be caught but it sure is a b.a.disease!
I have always had a healthy diet and life style, then BOOM ..... type 1 ...... i know so many people who are type 2 thats down to their lifestyles, i would never have type 2, never so im sorry if i offend anyone but thats just how i see it, i feel im been punished and sadly its with me now for life.

Aaarggghh! T2s don't deserve diabetes either! This is a support forum. Why on earth do you think you are being punished? It is what it is, a condition that some people have to live with. Instead of thinking why me, how about why not me? Be thankful you don't have to live with being obese as well and have ignorant people telling you it's all your fault. Imagine how that would feel.I have always had a healthy diet and life style, then BOOM ..... type 1 ...... i know so many people who are type 2 thats down to their lifestyles, i would never have type 2, never so im sorry if i offend anyone but thats just how i see it, i feel im been punished and sadly its with me now for life.
Lucky you for not being obese.That I find very hard to take. I wasn't overweight and yes my diet was too like the recommended eat well plate but that was being pushed as healthy.
I can't understand the motive of Sir Muir Gray in saying what he did when he did.
Money money money ???????

I would suggest then you have type 1, i think more research needs to be done on all the type 1 and type 2, having to inject insulin 5/6 times a day and finger prick almost every hour isnt great, but there is a line between the two, i am sorry but thats how it looks to me, i dont intend to offend im just fed up with all the injecting, all the finger pricking, all the highs and the awful lows and all the blooming carb counting.I'm sure that doesn't make you feel very good does it?
Imagine how someone must feel to have a healthy diet and lifestyle but still get diagnosed with type 2. Then they have to hear comments (like yours) that suggest having type 2 is a choice.
I'm sure that would be pretty frustrating.
He is T1.I would suggest then you have type 1, i think more research needs to be done on all the type 1 and type 2, having to inject insulin 5/6 times a day and finger prick almost every hour isnt great, but there is a line between the two, i am sorry but thats how it looks to me, i dont intend to offend im just fed up with all the injecting, all the finger pricking, all the highs and the awful lows and all the blooming carb counting.
