[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2081161, member: 345386"] Luna - It is excellent that you acknowledge, up front that everyone is different in their health and how they manage it, but then you appear to go on to suggest that your way is [I][B]the [/B][/I]way to manage T2 diabetes. One of the frustrating things about T2 is that each person really does have to find their way to move forward, managing their T2 for the longer term. To be clear, I am certainly not saying that insulin is bad, but nor am I say a Low Carb diet is bad. Indeed, I follow a low carb way of eating myself. Additionally, not everyone exercises. Some don't care for it, and for others it is impossible, due to other limiting factors and/or medical conditions. Whilst I am pleased it looks like you have worke out how to balance your energy requirements by calculating a calories per kilogramme, I also find I am quite different in this regard. Personally, if I eat a lot of carbs, I can eat far less, in terms of calories, otherwise my weight creeps up. If I am eating a reduced carb diet, I can eat far more calories to maintain weight. I've just done a quite calculation and find on my LC way of eating, what I eat equates to about 51 calories per kilo, to maintain, and certaily way less that 50% of my calories are from carbs. Congratulations on finding your way, but I find it pays to keep an open mind on how I or others can best manage their health. My health is excellent at the moment, I'm pleased to say, and my HbA1c is low. I'm quite happy following my own route. With diabetes, whether T1, T2 or almost any other sort, there can be many routes to fulfull the same objective. Choice is important. [/QUOTE]
