[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1003590, member: 195124"] I think it's unfair to tell people Type 2 is down to lifestyle choice, when following the NHS eat well plate would very definitely push me into Type 2 territory from pre-diabetic. I was never overweight but it was starting to creep up by itself and I believe this was due to insulin resistance causing weight gain since my diet didn't really change. I have lost some weight (as a by product really of going on the low carb high fat way of eating) so now have BMI of 23 and I'm still pre diabetic so with genetic tendency to insulin resistance. Also suffered gestational diabetes despite being young and very slim then. Good to see a programme that advocates low carb but if it doesn't say what to replace those carbs with or talk about good fats then it's not ideal. At least he mentioned that wholemeal bread has same effect on blood sugar as a snickers bar. [/QUOTE]
