[QUOTE="SunnyExpat, post: 1184475, member: 200461"] This website is an oddity. It in no way represents the 'average' diabetic patient. When I was diagnosed, I made a great effort to find out as much as possible, I attended the clinics, the hospital appointments, the courses. It was a struggle for the HCP's to convince many that any form of 'healthy' food was better than the junk they were eating. And by far the majority of patients were obese, myself included. I tend to think there are several stages in diet. as treatment. Initially, cutting down, and changing from junk to healthy. Many then search the internet, some find their way here. Many are confused still, and try an assortment of diets from here. It works for some, it doesn't for others. The final few undertake a total lifestyle change, and settle onto a lifestyle they are happy to continue with. The HCP sees the vast majority that never take the first step. We see those that decide to see the process through a far as they can. [/QUOTE]
