[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2094213, member: 345386"] It's not at all defeatist. Over time, we have seen many, many posters who set out on a very strict regime, which seems, on the face of it, to be absolutely almost opposite of their previous eating style. That's all great, but often they fall from the wagon. There's no shame for having a blip, but in reality, for them, their changes haven't been sustainable. For me, at the outset (with an A1c of 73), I only made changes I could contunie for the longer term shere I needed to. In 4 months, which was spent overseas travelling, I made those sustainable changes and at that 4 month point, my A1c was 37, and has never been above 34 sine. My last was 27 or 4.6%. In my time in corporalte land, I spent years working on Change; Corporate, cultural and personal. One thing of which I a certain is if an individual is not up for change, it won't happen. If they don't believe they can sustain a change they are committing to, it will be short-lived. With anything, there are exceptions to any rule, or usual finding, but bearing in mind diabetes is for the longer term, it makes sense to change to something one can carry on with. I hope that helps explain my post better. [/QUOTE]
