I'm Type 2 and basically referring to other T2's
I don't no enough to fully have an opinion or explain this properly.
but as I see it nearly everyone on here is low carb or trying to be! Some can tolerate more than others, and the LCHF lifestyle is quite highly pushed and followed by many people as it lowers BS effectively and just generally seems to work!
But I keep hearing and seeing things online and people's knowledge of diabetes who don't suffer with it, and from my own doctor!!!! That carbs are ok sugar is ok, just cut down a bit "you'll be alright" and while I was in hospital last month there was no problem with them serving me bread potatoes ice cream pasta fruit jams hot chocolate etc etc.
I'm not saying either one of us is right or wrong but for me and many others this forum is so helpful and more knowledgeable because it's our own lives we are trying to protect and prolong, I love what the NHS do they've saved my life a few times and I have much respect for them but maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to join together and join forces to fight the diabetic fight surely two heads are better than one?
I think my main point here is if carbs turn to glucose and mostly raise BS why are our health professionals suggesting we eat them ???
