Message: <blockquote data-quote="goslow" data-source="post: 433802" data-attributes="member: 6996">Hi Everyone,Its a year or more since I've posted on this sight, I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 5 yrs ago and I'm for ever thankful that I did as it led me to going on a reduced carb diet and drinking good red wine. So at 69 I'm still on diet and exercise with HBa1c at around 40-42 with very little effort at all.Reason I'm posting is that everyone is talking about the 800 calorie diet when it is only in fact a very low carb diet. The only carbs in these drinks is some low starch vegetables. Five years ago dieticians, doctors and DSNs would not even talk about a low carb diet but I knew I'd won when my doctor started talking about the 'caveman' diet and how there were no carbs thousands of years ago!So now DUK is spending £2.4m on research with a result in 5-10 years. I think the amount of research your post has uncovered show that DUK have had it wrong for years! Well done</blockquote>
