[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2072386, member: 480869"] I think it’s the profile rather than previous posts [USER=503830]@poemagraphic[/USER] refers to. Yes [USER=498395]@MEValentijn[/USER] certainly has had a difficult and complicated journey with diabetes and other conditions complicating the treatments . Her care does seem to have been lacking. But that very fact makes her stand outside the “typical” type 2 experience. In her posts she states she does limit carbs 50-100g and has gone through many different medications (the slow long route unfortunately) for the diabetes before arriving at insulin. That poor personal experience does not mean everyone or even most will end up there, nor that they should go straight there. She herself has changed her diet to lower carb thus making the statement that a different diet doesn’t change this outcome a little puzzling. Accusations of spreading false information, bullying and lying aren’t helpful. Nor is accusation of being judgemental or spreading nonsense. Just because low carb wasn’t enough to control her diabetes when put in the context of her ME it does not mean anyone has judged her (she jumped through lots of hoops and had no other options imo) all anyone seems to say is that people should consider other options first . Nor does it mean that it doesn’t work for a good majority of those who try it because it does! I have compassion for anyone who has had such a difficult journey. I am absolutely fine with alternative experiences and opinions. But sweeping statements not supported that go against the experience of a huge number of forum members passed off as facts is misleading to new members and somewhat the pot calling the kettle black. And as for the abusive comments rather than reasoned and polite discussion of differing views I have no further comment to make Edit to add [USER=498395]@MEValentijn[/USER] i realise this sounds a little odd as I refer to you in the third person but I was replying to [USER=160246]@Winnie53[/USER]. Please swap she for you etc as appropriate [/QUOTE]
