Sid, I've been viewing and posting for some years now and I know you have. I've rarely seen posts from low-carbers who have not lost weight or not maintained weight reduction. There have been a few including one recently but they remain few. There may be some who don't post but we will never know. Many who have to increase their meds as well, like I did, have found that both are needed. When I was on a three-tablet type regime and with ever increasing blood sugar I had to reduce carbs still further to try to control it. Increasing meds whilst low-carbing doesn't mean the low-carbing is failing merely that the diabetes is progressing.
AnnieC, ref you original point about some elderly people who don't surf the net etc and hence closely follow their HCP's, sometimes poor, advice, some of these will end-up with serious complications which could have been avoided with the right diet, meds and discipline. As the NHS often says, diabetes is a progressive disease and more so if the HCP's advice is not optimum.
