[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1893160, member: 374531"] The issue which many of us have with Bernstein is that he presents his solution as the one and only option and, at numerous points in his book, implicitly and explicitly, offers a view that anyone not following his dictates is an idiot. I accept totally that lchf has a place in both T2 and T1 management, more so with T2, less so with T1, but still a place for it. But what irks a lot of a people is that with T1, the message is being really badly sold. Telling people they "must" do this is not even remotely persuasive. Most people kick against being told to do something. But that hasn't stopped Tim Noakes, who, for reasons I fail to understand, got involved in a minor twitter incident over appropriate hypo treatments, and ended up coming out with this sanctimonious rubbish, which pi***d off a lot of T1s who might otherwise have been prepared to listen. He, as someone who actively plugged carb loading for athletes for decades, and then changed his mind, is now telling T1s they are stupid if they eat more than 50g a day, because he is right and they are wrong. Not persuasive, at all. [ATTACH=full]28820[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
