[QUOTE="ExpectSuccess, post: 888781, member: 43521"] My experience as a type one for 25 years has been that the only group who actually really know what they are doing in the NHS (regarding diabetes in general) is the DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) group. Not all counties have one and I had to shift to the neighbouring county to get included on a DAFNE course. It is a full time 5 day course run by specialist nurses and is excellent for type one diabetics - not available for type two at present, however. My research into diet and diabetes leads me to the belief that type two (where there is still insulin production) in most cases can be sorted by a low carb diet and getting ones entire physiology into a properly alalkaline state. There is evidence that this also works for some type ones as well. Some very good books are now around, which explain how to kick type two into touch permanently in a matter of weeks However, you as the Patient have to take the lead in managing your condition and not give away your personalpower to others [/QUOTE]
