Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="smidge" data-source="post: 432671" data-attributes="member: 29301">Hi Sam!Thank you for your post. I just want to say 'thank you' for the efforts you are making to try to get appropriate dietary advice available to all diabetics with the aim of improving the dire statistics of those who attain 'safe' HbA1cs.I firmly believe that winning hearts and minds in DUK is the way to achieve this. I recently approached DUK asking them to put a low-carb diet approach as one of the options for diabetes management prominently on their web site. The initial response I received was extremely negative. However, my email was passed to a more enlightened team within DUK and I received a second, far more concilliatory response which acknowledged that many people with diabetes have great success in managing their BGs with a low-carb diet. The main concern from DUK seemed to be that many (or most) people with diabetes will  not or cannot stick to it. I think that is progress! They (or at least this team) are no longer refusing to acknowledge it as an approach that can work. Ok, it's small progress but progress nonetheless!So keep on chipping away with intelligent and reasoned arguments - I think their view is softening.As you and I both know from personal experience, a low-carb diet can make a huge difference to Type 1/1.5 diabetes management and control. As many others will testify, it also makes all the difference to Type 2 management and control.Good luck - and sorry I can't point you to any Type 2 low-carb research - but I'm sure others will be along who can!Smidge</blockquote>
