[QUOTE="bunty, post: 78859, member: 11638"] I almost left this site some time back when i was personally attacked on the threads - and by one of the mods, too and in PM by one vociferous low-carber. But then the Admin tried to diffuse the situation and i returned and even posted a few times. However, i grew rapidly hacked off by the low-carbers, who seem to vie with one another to exist on the lowest number of carbs possible. They remind me of the internet sites for anorexics. And then Admin tried again and created this forum, which i looked at today for the first time. I will stick around a bit longer... ...i think the low-carbers who post their preaching here are trying to undermine the intent of this forum and i think they're being allowed to do so. Moving on from that gripe... I eat far fewer carbs than ever i did before coming to this site but eat loads of carbs some days. In fact, some days i eat heaps of them because that's what kind of mood i'm in, for whatever reason. My HbA1Cs so far have all been in the mid-5s, so i must be doing something right! I have been thrilled to discover that if i eat a pile of carbs then do some exercise, my blood levels are fine later, when i test. For instance, this Sunday i ate a grilled bacon sandwich on white sliced (i couldnt get brown when i had rushed to the shop the previous day) and a sugar-free milk shake, followed by an entire packet of milkybar sweets. That was sheer greed and indulgence and knowing that i cant have some now and some later - i'm an all or nothing sort of girl! Then i got on my bike and armed with 2 bottles of plain water only, set off for a couple of hours and 17 miles later returned home and tested at 5.3. Yippee! So, to me, living the normal life of reduced carbs and no sweeties or bread of any type but having fun and sweeties at the weekend, with exercise, is my way of living, for now anyway. And that is ME, how I do it! LOL bunty [/QUOTE]
