[QUOTE="fergus, post: 19524, member: 6150"] Jenny, with respect, I see you have had type 2 for a year. You might bear in mind that the great majority of members on here have had T2 or, in my case, T1 for a great deal longer. Age may be no guarantee of wisdom, but it does at least allow the time to compare and contrast different approaches to controlling the condition. The benefit of this time has lead a great majority of those on the forum to conclude that the medical profession's approach to diabetes care, particularly with regard to diet, is seriously flawed. I have yet to read a post on this forum from a diabetic who has tried a low carb diet and not found enormous benefits in blood sugar levels, body weight, control of appetite, blood pressure, blood lipids and sheer bloody liberation from the complications surrounding diabetes. Perhaps you have yet to try it yourself. In this case, in the interests of scientific objectivity, I'd suggest you see quite what a difference it can make before you jump to the defence of the medical profession. We are united in our gratitude for the medical advances available to us. They make lives worth living and in my case have given me 27 years of life that I would otherwise have been denied. However, the litany of death, disease and disfigurement attributable to excessive blood sugar is enormous in scale. It is in no small part down to misguided dietary advice and we have a duty to expose it to all who are prepared to listen. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
