[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2085836, member: 345386"] Scott - You may feel the site is obsessed with Low Carb, but it is keen that people living with diabetes have choices and where they elect to adopt a reduced carb way of eating, there should be an information and support resource for them to do so safely. The longevity of the gestation period indicates the commitments to getting it right, with feedback from all manner of sources. Low carbing for T2; for those not on meds, or on "gentle" meds, not significantly increasing the individual's chances of a medically concerning hypo, is relatively straightforward. For those who are otherwise healthy, it is often a case of reduce carbs, watch blood sugars reduce too. For those, for whom this has worked, it is wonderful, and it is natural they will talk about it and encourage others to give it a go; just in the same way you encourage T1s to work on their carb couting, bolus timing and so on. For those with little or no endogenous insulin, and therefore using exogenous insulin, it gets a bit trickier, as you well know. All this site is doing is creating a programme to support those who would like to try. It's not mandatory, and I feel certain many will just give it a huge swerve. That's absolutely fine too. Bottom line is there is no one single way to manage this portfolio condition called Diabetes, and for most people, choices are important. Edited to correct a couple of typos - Breakfast was calling!
