What site?Stumbled on this and am confused. It recommends the exact opposite of what a lot of people on here have found works well for them. It is also pretty much the “diet” I ate for more than a year before diagnosis - low fat plant based diet ! Thoughts please.
My crystal ball is borked at present, more clues needed...Thoughts please.

What does your meter say. My younger brother was recommended a low GI diet on being told he was pre-diabetic. I did try to encourage him to try lower glycemic load or lower carb but to no avail. No surprise that he is now a medicated type II diabetic.
There is no one size fits all and we are all free to follow what advice we want to. Personally I have found that by following a low carb diet (<50gms in my case) I don't have to take Gliclazide or Januvia (I took both) and I no longer have to have conversations about cholesterol or take Atorvastatin any more as my total cholesterol is now only 4. BTW, I didn't increase fat although I have tried to, I'm better off on low fat and low carb, but that's just me.
There's no clue to what website you're referring to, but it obviously doesn't work for you or you wouldn't have gotten your diagnosis...It is also pretty much the “diet” I ate for more than a year before diagnosis
I’m very much enjoying and succeeding with LCHF. Just intrigued and curious as the suggested eating style advised there was pretty much what I was doing fir a long time before (shock) diagnosis..... although not sure I ever reached 900g carbs pd!!!
I reckon it's quite easy to total 900carbs a day on an average person's diet. If you eat a couple of packets of crisps, a chocolate bar or two plus a bowl of pasta, two slices of toast etc, that can easily add up and it doesn't necessarily amount to overeating either.
Maybe that diet works for some people. However, I know for sure the LCHF (mostly meat) worked for me.Stumbled on this and am confused.

Tut-Tut @Guzzler you know only too well that 'classic coke' is 0% fat, but loads of sugar.Especially if you're having full fat pop. I know a lass who can easily finish a 2ltr bottle of Coke in a day. And it is not diet Coke.

Its the partner site to the mangoman one I linked to so I was half right Cyrus Khambatta is "Mangoman" a vegan T1 who makes lots of claims abut T2 without providing much (if any) evidence.. bit like the vegans I encountered today on Twitter who charmingly called me an ignorant pr**k.. they really know how to win an argument... Losing the plot!
