That's an issue with simply trying to replace the good old "balanced diet for all", with "low carbs for all"
Oh I certainly care about my sight andYou should care because the various regimes not curently recommended by DUK could well save people's sight limbs and lives. Even if you don't care about that consider the savings to the NHS etc. DUKs intransigence is totally immoral.

No one sensible suggests that so stop spinning it that way. Another very old and very tired attempt at discrediting people who have the audacity not to agree with you.

That doesn't actually work, if your view, is as you say, Xyzzy's view.
I'll still to my view, but if you want only the low carb view, maybe the low carb forum would have been a better place?

I object. This is not a debate about low carb it is a debate about DUK not accepting any view except it's own. That is what the OP is posting about. It is you who are focusing on carbs rather than DUk'S arrogance.
Please don't try and paint me as some kind of low carb fanatic as lots of people know I get just as much criticism from the low carb advocates for my "do what works for you" stance as I do from those who are anti low carb.
I find the whole carb debate pointless.

Actually, there is only one diet that is alleged to reverse diabetes, with proven results.
So why aren't we lobbying for the Newcastle diet?
All those that fit into the correct profile as the original subjects.
Make it the first line of medical treatment.
If that would reverse diabetes, no prospect of any complications, a clear future, it should be made mandatory.
That's something worth lobbying for!
Spot on, Catherine.All that the OP is asking is for DUK to acknowledge low carb diets as an option for managing diabetes both for Type1 and Type2. He is not saying that low carbing should be the only option. I doubt that the Newcastle Diet would be advantageous for Type 1.
Without wanting to sound like a conspiracy nut, dietary advice is largely based on economic interest. In fact, every decision made politically at any level is first of all a question based on economies.We had the news today of the professor recruited by the government to write recommendations on dietary sugar intake, who has admitted receiving a direct sum from coca cola to advise them on dietary advice. He then, allegedly, also receives money from Mars to help him conduct his university 'research'. This is by no means an isolated incident.
The very notion of a 'balanced' diet, based on calories, was ingenuously created to allow consumption of nutritiously poor foods into our every day diets.
The idea that 500 calories of cola and chocolate has the same metabolic effects on weight and body composition as 500 calories from vegetables and lean meat is ridiculous; yet this is what most people are brainwashed into thinking.
Bottom line is that people are getting sicker. Type 2 diabetes is skyrocketing. Diagnosis of type 1 is increasing year on year. Rates of autoimmunity of all conditions are increasing. Our food environment is becoming more and more toxic, and every year food companies are allowed to engage in 'voluntary regulation' to help reduce the very conditions that their products promote.
