[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1728415, member: 374531"] [USER=469161]@Munkle[/USER] is eminently capable of taking care of himself in this discussion with [USER=381523]@Key_master_[/USER] , but there's a couple of points which have been made which I'd like to comment on. Whoa, steady on, mate! I was under the impression that this is meant to be a supportive forum where we respect that people have different approaches to their T1, and that what works for one might not work for another, so it seems a bit out of order to describe someone else's food choices as "mental" just because it doesn't accord with yours. Calling it "mental" is, frankly, insulting to those of us who have been living perfectly happy non-low carb lives for decades. Being sarcastic doesn't help either. Presenting bernstein as the holder of all truth in matters T1 is ridiculous. He got himself back from some complications caused by primitive treatment methods, and then sells books, while missing the obvious point that we're now way beyond those treatment methods, and can live our lives safely, well within complication risk curves, without having to have a set of scales handy to weigh, what was it, a maximum 6g for breakfast. Who the f**k wants to go to that needless level of precision in their day to day life? I think keto/lchf/bernstein enthusiasts really don't appreciate how intensively they sell their message and how wholly offputting it is to newly dx'd who just want to know whether they can have their bacon on toast. It's one thing suggesting low carb as an option, but it's quite another when people who don't low carb are mocked and called "mental". [/QUOTE]
