[QUOTE="BlindFaith, post: 316849, member: 45202"] The above quote kinda contradicts the quote below, don't you think...? :roll: I don't think ANYONE would make the life choice to have diabetes of any kind. Please don't make sweeping generalizations like that, it just causes unnecessary upset and offense to some people. I know I haven't chosen to have diabetes, just like I didn't choose to have the accident that's left me in a wheelchair for the foreseeable future and just like I didn't choose to suffer with M.E or a chronic skin condition that leaves me in blisters. :? But according to your posts you [b]have[/b] cured yours, right? So of course we wouldn't need your wishes, we'd just need to follow everything that you've done and we'll all be magically cured...! :crazy: I think I'll stick to what I'm doing, thanks. What works for you (as others have said previously) may or will not work for someone else. It's great that you've found something that fits your lifestyle and something that has helped you; but like many others a sniff of Weetabix or banana and my levels would go through the roof. As would my IBS and acid reflux as I'm wheat and lactose intolerant. How in the Void do you know that? Unless you have some kind of medical background or training OR you know each and every one of us personally and know exactly what kind of foods and/or diet can be tolerated or would be appropriate then you can't just say "my diet won't harm you at all". To someone who is newly diagnosed and doesn't know how to help themselves lower their blood sugar and gain control of their diabetes your post could be really confusing; not to mention potentially dangerous.
