I respect your right as a Moderator to censor my post although respectfully disagree with both your opinion and dietary advice in respect of type 2 Diabetes . This forum is full of misguided opinion and factual errors and with a 30 year legacy of the wrong dietary information that has caused the current World wide Diabetes epidemic my feeling is that correct information is more important than political correctness. The current Public Health England dietary advice is a case in point.
Three of my family have now died of T2 Diabetes it is a deadly condition, not a disease and if left uncontrolled can lead to serious ill health, debilitation, amputation and Death so it needs to be taken seriously
The original poster asked for advice on a suitable diet to reduce his blood sugar levels given that he they had just been diagnosed T2 and taking Metformin .
The information and advice I gave was not based on my personal experience or opinion it was based on considerable published Scientific and Medical research backed up by Meta Analysis. I would be glad to provide links to the published research papers I refer to but thought that most folk usually just want someone to give them the 'bottom line'
I think that if you refer to my original post and the section that you have quoted, out of context, you will see that I did not recommend cutting out a food group for ever ...I took care to qualify my advice by stating that it would be advisable to eliminate carbs until their current blood sugar levels reduce to within acceptable levels.
Perhaps the question we should all be asking is why has the poster's Doctor not provided them with appropriate dietary and lifestyle advice !?...............
