Hi, Have you looked at the title of the Poll?
We call on Diabetes UK to recognise the LCHF diet alongside the HCLF diet.
We all know that many people do 'moderation' in the Low Carb High Fat, but isn't Diabetes UK sometimes preaching 'moderation' in the High Carb Low Fat diet? I'm not sure what you would want to achieve by including questions for moderation.
If we can get them to recognize, as the poll question suggests, then there would clearly be moderation between the two by many people but they would have the option of choosing, where they don't at the moment, because they are only offered HCLF

Do DUK tell people to eat high carbs? Or a hclf diet?
Their diet advice as of 2011 was to eat a balanced diet and substituting high GI carbs for lower GI foods and watching the amount of sat fats, no mention of a high carb diet at all and Dr Trudi Deakins name is on the top of it dated 2011.

So why all this talk of hclf Im not aware of anyone suggesting that as a good idea so why put it in a poll?
