[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 2205320, member: 430576"] What I do not understand is there are conditions where people can not metabolise protein, it builds up and can damage the eyes and can effect a childs development, so its important that they are on a low protein diet, supplemented by amino acid drinks. No one would ever suggest they should not control the amount of protein they consume, because not eating it is basically the only way to prevent problems. So did the blind spot start when the medical proffession started using insulin, which fixes the 'problem' a bit like antibiotics fixed infections, but in the long term for some its not treating the cause? Is it so hard to understand that too much carb that someone can not process could be a problem, and the simple solution could be to reduce it and see what happans? It facinates me because we do need to eat protein, someone I know could only eat 17gms of protein a day in normal food, so was basically blowing the whole allowance on a portion of chips. Why is it so difficult to accept if we do not eat so many carbs we will not become ill? If you look at the information on here, [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/preventing-type-2-diabetes/can-diabetes-be-prevented[/URL] , its like their almost frightened to mention the word. I intially joined this forum to find out about low carb diets, but it made me question what I had been taught about diabetes and have a greater understanding of why the people I saw were having problems controlling their diabetes. The irony being after my illness I am now Type 3c. I am going to see my GP tomorrow, I have had no follow up from the surgery about my diabetes, even though I was originally discharged on insulin, so it will be interesting to see what, if anything I am offered. No one has even bothered to tell me what my HbA1c is, so I could be in for a shock. Just back from the GP, so I am getting a full set of bloods and an appointment with the diabetic nurse. The good news is my Hba1c was 48, which not bad considering that the whole of my pancreas was supposed to be dead and I am just controlling my BS with low carb. [/QUOTE]
