[QUOTE="Paul_c, post: 330711, member: 44875"] [rant mode=on] and the problem with DAFNE is the final two letters of the acronym... they supposedly stand for "Normal Eating"... which if you have a non or badly functioning pancreas is madness... to keep telling people they can eat what normal people eat and just inject insulin (or for T2's not on insulin to pop some pills) to cope with the excess glucose floating around in your bloodstream is lunacy... I'm on diet plus exercise only... there's no way I can carry on eating normally ever again... certainly if I don't want to suffer the complications that others have posted about in this thread already... the concept of retinopathy terrifies me. I most certainly do not want to lose my eyesight at all, or my feet... or end up on dialysis... oh and as for your comment that the food you eat not affecting your health and it's the insulin... balderdash..., complete utter rubbish... carbs in your diet cause the glucose levels to rise... elevated glucose levels cause the damage and injury to your health. If you cut back on the carbs, you wouldn't need so much insulin... and you'd be far less at risk of over or under dosing with the insulin you are using. [rant mode=off] [/QUOTE]
