On a T1 thread ( http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-1-a-good-hba1c-without-hypos.114193/page-3#post-1354303 ), @azure , in past #35, you post:
"I agree @Garr Eating a moderate level of carbs can give you a great HbA1C as long as you apply yourself. That way you also avoid the physiological insulin resistance that so,often comes with cutting out carbs and ketosis. You also usually don't need to bolus for protein when you have carbs with it.
It's a total fallacy to say that LCHF is the only way to get good results. Controlling carbs, yes, but that doesn't mean you have to cut them out completely."
I would be interested to learn what percentage of low carbers you believe develop physiological insulin resistance (PIR), as a result of the LC approach, and at what point they develop it?
I started a new thread to prevent derailing the source thread, and think others could be interested too.
For those reading who are T2 (or other non-insulin dependant members) who have not fully read the source thread, please note it is a T1 thread, so please do not post on there, unless you have something both relevant and on-topic. I would hate to be stimulating content at risk of editing or deletion.
Thanks in anticipation everyone.
Edited to add that I have deliberately posted in this section for those of us who consider food to be our medicine'
