graham - i thought u had a wonderful dietitian!

the problem is graham how do u know what u read on here is right - think about it?!

That's very true. So when someone comes onto the forum, claims to be a dietitian, and advises against a low carb diet, then your advice to us is that we should take anything they say with a very large pinch of salt. After all how do we know that they have any qualifications whatsoever?
 
dennis - I am a dietitian and have let a few people check that. Unlike the made up one who appeared on the low carb forum a few months ago.

This forum is turning into a low carb site and I dont think it is doing anyone any favours.
 
Oh, well that's ok then Ally, we have your word for it.
 
oh well dennis just think - i am a newly diagnosed diabetic so i come on here and get advice from any tom **** or harry - fab - people can make up what ever they like on here you are right!
 
Ally, you do nothing but provoke arguments and confuse people here. Some constructive advice from time to time might be useful. But no, you spend most of your time trying to discredit perfectly well intentioned people who have achieved great success in managing their conditions, often in the face of ridiculous advice from their healthcare teams. Just what is your agenda?
Any more of this nonsense and you'll find yourself causing trouble elsewhere instead, OK?

but graham how may are getting good stuff from their hpc - u cannot answer that can you - this is all a bit romantic!

fergus u spend very moment on here condemning hpc and quite honestly I and many others are fed up with it . i havent been on here for ages but tonight i read some posts and thought this is not right.

You will not accept that not everyone needs to low carb - your post good guys said exactly that .

This forum is a low carb site !

Are u threatening me Fergus?
 
1. This is not a low carb site.
2. There is far more praise for HCP's on the good guys thread than you'll see anywhere else.
3. There has never been any dispute that not eveyone needs to low carb.

And yes, if you carry on like this, you might very well find yourself banned from the forum.

Ally,

How come you choose to read only the posts where members have been advised to try a low carb diet and not the many where they have been advised to try a small reduction in carbs, or to try a low GI diet. Why? Because it obviously doesn't suit your agenda of constantly undermining this site and all those who cobtribute to it.

Personally I am getting sick and tired of your constant sniping at people on this forum who have found something that has worked for them and actually have the temerity to suggest to others that it might work for them as well.

I did note your comment that you haven't posted for some time - and thinking back it was a time where we have had peace, quiet and no arguments.

And Mrs Pugwash - I'll believe you when you are able to produce proof of that. Until then, to use your own advice, I wont believe a word you say because it is posted on the internet!
 
fergus - for what reason would I be banned - do explain ! because I disagree with you , or because I am a hpc. If you ban me says alot about this forum - and Dan wants more HPC .

Fergus you stirred this up by trying to get everyone to say what good hpc were agreeing with you .

It seems to me that anyone who speaks against low carbing gets a telling off - just look at what you posted . Its about time someone had the guts to speak up here - remember i dont need to be here !

Seems you can say what you like but I cannot !
 
Ally,

I'm sure the Fergus won't mind my answering for him. You have come onto the forum tonight apparently hell-bent on causing mayhem. On any forum anywhere in the world that would get you banned. Fergus won't ban you no matter how hard you goad him because that would simply be playing into your hands. But I certainly will if you don't cool it and show some respect towards others.

And before you accuse me of being just another low-carb fanatic, let me remind you that I am not and never have been a low-carber. Like many other type 2s who have been advised on this forum, I have come to learn that the high carb diets that are advocated by many HCPs are not suitable for me, so I have learned for myself what works for me. Oh yes, and been praised by my GP and DSN for doing so.

Now, can I suggest that you go to bed and sleep it off. Perhaps you may wake up with a better disposition tomorrow!
 
dennis - there have been fights on here without me .

There is nothing on here but hpc bashing and only backing for low carbing.

I dont want to provoke arguments but if I say anything about carbs all of u pounce so there isnt much point. Fergus started a thread good guys - it was aimed at low carbing! need i say more. Why would i be banned - only because I am a hpc dennis ?

I have had a lot of support from people on here - even some low carbers ! I actually help people to do that if they want .

This forum could be useful for diabetics if it stopped being so negative other than low carbing.
 
Dearie me, Ally, there you are casting aspertions about other peoples credentials and you consistently spell healthcare professional HPC? :shock:
There are many HCP's on here who post with compassion, intelligence and dedication. We are extremely grateful for their input.
If you are banned, it will have nothing to do with whether I agree with you or not. Couldn't care less to be quite frank. You might care to remember that I tried to persuade you to stay when you threatened to leave some time ago?
The acid test is whether you have constructive advice and realistic options for members to allow them to achieve the type of success that so many have found by following a low carb strategy.
Well, can you?

No, Ally, because you are causing trouble. Now please give it a rest.

Hi Keg,
To be honest I without this forum and the help I have received, I dread to think were I would be now, my BG was out of control following the dietary advice given on diagnosis. My heart goes out to those diabetics with no internet access.

Regards Graham

...when you read back through the threads, this forum has helped a great number of people, which is fantastic in itself and exactly what the forum should be for. That's why I'm encouraged to stay on, despite a shaky start! The one thing I can already take with me after only a week, is even more of an understanding that there is no "one size fits all" solution to the challenge we each face, than I had before. I don't know whether that is a stated objective of the group, but I think it's a positive message too, forcing people to think of and seek out alternatives to the established dogma.

Regards, Jo

Hi kegstore,

You are absolutely right - what you have found is exactly what the forum is about - all of us helping each other. There is no agenda other than that. We do try to preach that there is no one size fits all, but that is the result of what we individually believe and have found to be true, rather than a policy of the forum. But, as you have seen tonight, the established dogma doesn't like being challenged, and when it is, it rants, raves and attacks everyone and everything in sight! Oh well, I suppose dogma and reason have never been comfortable bedfellows.
