[QUOTE="Key_master_, post: 1728371, member: 381523"] I’ve been diabetic 6 years less than you’ve been alive, in my 18 odd years with it nearly 19. I’ve heard it all, our diabetes advice is utter non sense. If you eat carbs you need insulin. Non diabetics with slightly raised bg levels develop the same complications. Look back 30 years ago, we never ate half as much ****, luxury items weren’t as cheap and now we can spoon in as much processed food as we like. 1985 30 million diabetics worldwide. 2018 450000000 will easily be over half a billion by 2020. 400000 are type one. It’s diet and lifestyle that need changing. Must reduce calories, avoid fatty foods. Eat grains and bulk out meals with rice. My insulin needs tonight will be 4.5 units. Before for the same amount of food that wouldn’t keep me satisfied for nearly half the time as the above meal. Around 10-12 units. Most of that is to process sugar, that’s all carbs are. No matter how you eat them, they all turn to sugar. I certainly know how to control carbs and could eat whatever I wanted until I saw what happened to my dad first hand. Not even type one dead at 60, he was type 2, got himself in remission after loosing 5/6 stone and off his massive doses of insulin and cocktail of pills. It was reducing carbs like bread, potatoes, rice and pasta that did that. He was exercising moderately as well but was in his 50’s then so nothing to strenuous. He then had an accident, was in a coma for 11 weeks. Lost even more weight. Down to 10 stone, then he was put back on insulin. Downward spiral from there on in, within 4 years of being on a calorie reduced diet like my mum has been almost all my life saw his weight and insulin needs climb back to higher than before. He was in a wheelchair and couldn’t walk so his fight was intensified as he couldn’t get his insulin working by moving around like we can. [/QUOTE]
