Diabetes war

I joined this forum a few months ago to help get my sugar levels under control.

In 3 months when i first started posting on here (Approx) my hba1c was 8.3, today I got my results back as 6.4% this is probably the best its even been in 20 years of diabetes! This year is my 20 year aniversary!

I have taken on board advice from the low carbers, high carbers, t1s and t2s and come up with a mixed way of dealing with it all using everybodys advice and input. Id call myself, a mid carber. The fact that im a fussy eater dictates this mainly.

As a newbie Ive read through some of the posts recently and goings on, Ive also read comments such as, some of the newer members to the forum wont understand whats going on because of all the arguments from the last few years! Whats been going on, it seems like madness surely.

I was researching yesterday and found a blog by a low carber on another site, absolutley slating someone a high carber (Recognised their tag) who has offered me great advice and couldnt have been nicer on a couple of occasions. The things they were picking at were quite personal and were really really off the subject.

What is this diabetes war all about?
