[QUOTE="endocrinegremlin, post: 1238452, member: 196900"] Hey So I feel really alienated when type ones&pumpers talk about diets. I am doing slimming world and when it comes down to it that is a pretty high carb diet. Your pastas, rices and potatoes are free along with many of your fruits that would require insulin. Fat is something the plan tries to erase so the whole low carb high fat thing really goes out of the window. I am losing weight on this platform and carb count to balance everything out (I'm not losing weight because I need to but because my DR won't refer me for a breast reduction until I fit into her bmi stat... I won't fit into that until I literally need custom made bras because my back size is tiny and breasts are large and heavy.) My hba1c is good. My bgs are good. I feel full, I lose weight and I feel energized. I've always backed what works for you on this forum but it does feel that there are a lot of voices drowning out those who still eat their carbs and such. Not every diabetic is the same and it is not right to shame those who balance better with carbs, especially given so many were raised on carb based diets. A system can't change overnight. So two things I guess. On the one hand can people lay off those who are not doing low carb high cat and on the other....anyone else doing slimming world or similar? [/QUOTE]
