[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2479515, member: 365308"] As a volunteer I got to hear a presentation on the latest research which informs DUK's position on different diets. This amounts to a corporate position of - [LIST] [*]Low carb a bit risky and gimmicky but we have to mention it because its a hot topic [*]Only our RCT Direct trials provide true evidence of remission and that remission must occur via weight loss. [*]The other option is bariatric surgery. [*]Good carbs and bad carbs [*]Sat fat is risky unless it is packaged with omega 3 [/LIST] D:UK is very centralised and a very top down organisation. As a volunteer I give low carb advice because in all conscience I couldn't not do so though in groups we do mention the Newcastle diet and the many works of Michael Mosely! RE type 1, I am frustrated to discover that they think carb counting is the ONLY way to get good blood sugars! I think it is better than eating lots of carbs and not counting them but most diabetics are doing a rough guestimate every time they bolus. Perhaps scanning the barcodes of processed food or weighting stuff helps some type 1s feel 'in control' but I've opted for eating a minimal amount so that a) i don't become insulin resistant and/or fat b) I don't expend too much head space on carb counting but can still get good blood sugars with the help of good tech. I don't understand why this can't be talked about as a helpful way to minimise the inevitable dosing errors that occur with type 1. It eliminates just one of the variables that make dosing hard!
