[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1156603, member: 85785"] Hi, If I listened to you, I would be dead now! I listened to the same advice for over a decade, I was seriously ill, in fact, I was dying! I know I have an unusual form of diabetes or blood glucose disorder or metabolic syndrome, no matter the label, the same advice was given, my health deteriorating slowly but surely. I have found an endocrinologist who diagnosed me, when others didn't have a clue, nor did any of the other health care professionals, that I had seen. It was carbs that were killing me! My endocrinologist thought outside the box and ignored his training and recommended very low carb as a way to control the condition. I also was directed to this site by my endocrinologist. He is highly thought of in the endocrinologist hierarchy for his research into control of blood glucose disorders or whatever label you want to put it in. He has a scientific paper published. He has two other research papers paid for by the NHS trust and pharmaceutical companies. He is the man that saved my life! There is also [USER=74036]@Southport GP[/USER], who has personally done a study of over 80 T2s and seen great results because of a low carb diet, most of them reversing the condition and taken off meds and saving his practice a lot of money. Your thinking is outdated. My body lives on a few carbs which helps feed my brain the glucose needed, my body has healed itself. I do not need to eat carbs as such as you describe. My body doesn't need them. I am a full time manual worker, my energy levels are exceptionally for a pensioner of my age. Read the success stories on this forum. That will give you a clue about low carb. Back to the OP. In my research, I would try and really stay away from insulin, there is so many side issues with it. Only if you really need to, would I try it. I would move heaven and earth to control my blood glucose levels with diet and exercise. With the blood lowering meds your doctor has given you. For me it is the last alternative. No matter the label carbs are carbs, and they mostly all spike me and will influence your bloods. Take heed of the knowledgeable diabetics on here! [/QUOTE]
