And in general how dare you presume to know better than them, their health care team's or my information, just because it does not fit the your narrative.
All choose to.. as many have said so often there are no essential dietary carbs. No-one needs any...it's choice.
Nobody anywhere in the world needs carbohydrates. They may well chose to want them.. they may well choose to eat them but they still don't need them.They NEED carbs upon waking for THEIR diabetes.
It's nothing about my narrative it is a scientific fact. There are no essential dietary carbohydrates.And in general how dare you presume to know better than them, their health care team's or my information, just because it does not fit the your narrative.

err I didn't mention your grandad or anyone else specifically.... you projected that completely...I stated a simple fact.Seems so. But I will still get ruffled if someone hints at my grandad. My diabetes I can take it on the chin for my my grandad not so much.
@endocrinegremlin You mention your relatives experience hypos. This, to me, infers they are on strong meds such as insulin or Gliclazide-type meds. If this is the case, it would have helped if you had mentioned this. To avoid hypos of course someone needs carbs, but this is not what this thread is about. For dietary nutrition, carbohydrate is not necessary, and I am sure this is what @bulkbiker meant.
To keep my BS levels steady and in normal range, I cannot eat carbs at breakfast. It is protein and fats for me. However, I take no medication.
Well you are mistaken. As many others are on this thread. My granddad has had one hypo in his life as he was being diagnosed after a long period of activity and other emotional stress that I did not want to disclose but it seems the hounds pulled it forth.
However, I only offered another diabetic aid. My grandfather is not up for discussion. I will refrain from talking about him as an experience.
I respectfully asked you cease mentioning him. I brought him up, he became conversation. I ask that stops now.I don't recall mentioning your granddad. You are the one that mentioned him. I merely asked if any of the relatives you said experience hypos were on strong meds that can cause hypos. For many of us that are not on hypo-inducing meds and are T2 with some degree of insulin resistance, starchy carbs are not a good idea for breakfast.

Ok so clearly I am in the minority here. I did not say anyone went for my granddad especially. But I stated facts of his health, his diet and how he lives his life and it was attacked. It ruffled me. My family has many many diabetics. The type 2s are not under the diets this forum seems to prefer. They are all healthy. We are all different as diabetics and that should be respected. I will step away from this thread now and leave it to the type2s. I thought I could add another aspect given I help manage my granddad's condition with his HCPs. I was wrong. Sorry.
