[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 330426, member: 48386"] All I said about medication was as follows: Can you please point out exactly what I've said is "exaggerated"? I've seen many posts at this and various other forums about the issues Type 1s have, just as an example, with carrying their equipment everywhere they go, being barred entry to places because they're carrying hypodermics (ridiculous of course but there's a post on this forum about that very subject), adjusting their insulin dosage to avoid hypos and many other issues, including the psychological. I applaud anyone who manages their diabetes successfully, no matter how they do it. If my type 2 progresses to the stage where I can no longer control it with diet, I will be seeing my GP about medication because I firmly believe that stable BG levels are the key to successully living with diabetes. If I implied that I think there's anything wrong with taking medication, I'm very sorry, but that was certainly not my intent. I'm not going to write a screed citing all sorts of research because I don't have the time or the incination. If you really want that sort of detail, I'd suggest you do some research on pubmed or read the book 'The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living' by Drs Volek & Phinney: [url=http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Science-Carbohydrate-Living/dp/0983490708/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353141791&sr=8-1&keywords=the+art+and+science+of+low+carbohydrate+living]http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Science-C ... ate+living[/url] And frankly, to me Dr Bernstein at his advanced age after following his own principles of low carbohydrate BG/insulin dosage control is more 'living proof' than any amount of research can prove or dispute. I think I'm done with this thread now. My apologies if I've offended anyone. [/QUOTE]
