I have a feeling this thread will never reach a resolution.
All I can say is that prior to diagnosis I had been eating a high carb low fat diet as this was generally the excepted orthodox view. By the time I was diagnosed I already had neuropothy, retinopathy and kidney damage. So a fat lot of good HCLF did for me. Since going Low carb medium to high fat I have lost six stones in weight my blood sugars are constantly in the normal range my latest HbA1c is at lower than predibetes level (that is it is 39). So I think I will safely ignore any advise against the LCHF diet and maiintain my health as best I can. As a HCLF diet had me on the road to ruin. I don't say that it works for every one but I know no one that has improved their health following a high carbohydrate diet.
