The NHS is still recommending a high carb, low fat diet to diabetics - it beggars belief really - the attitude is changing slowly, and some medics are beginning to break rank, but low-carb high-fat is by no means a mainstream NHS recommended diet. A ketogenic diet is simply a lower-carb version of a LCHF diet. Many diabetics use this way of eating very successfully. If you want to learn more about it so that you can make up your own mind, get a copy of Dr Bernstein's 'The Diabetes Solution'. Dr Bernstein is a US medic who has had Type 1 for most of his life. He is in his 80s now, keeps normal blood sugars and has managed to reverse many of the complications he suffered before swapping to a ketogenic diet. Well worth a read.Smidge</blockquote>
