Message: <blockquote data-quote="IanD" data-source="post: 461923" data-attributes="member: 6186">That's what I was told when I was diagnosed in 2000 (at 61) - however well I complied with the NHS/DUK high carb, low sugar/fat/salt diet.By 2008 the prediction was devastating true - intense muscle pain that made it painful to get out of bed, beginning of retina bleeds, extreme tiredness. My active life was over. Then I discovered low carb - from this forum. I immediately gave up all the obvious carbs. In three months I was out of pain & after six years I have NO complications - even the retina bleeds have gone. At 74 I am fit & well. For a talk on my experience with low carb, I prepared this "diet pyramid."[ATTACH=full]2854[/ATTACH] That contrasts with the usual diat pyramid with carbs at the base & fats at the point.</blockquote>
