[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 717379, member: 88961"] Douglas - I agree we are all different. To be absolutely clear here; I am not saying we should censor what we say or do, nor what we report on here, [B][I]but[/I][/B], I do think we have to consider how some of all of our statements are being viewed - particularly by those who are either new or particularly struggling with their regime. You also seem to believe that your pre-diagnosis lifestyle was a significant factor in your journey to diabetes, but it's not always that straighforward for others. Personally, I also appear to be able to tolerate some carbs, well. Last night we had sausages with mash and onion gravy for dinner - we just needed something simple (that didn't include turkey!). I was 3.9, but felt like I was dropping fast before eating and 4.3 after, so clearly I didn't have any issues with the food, but I am mindful that I have given myself a decent year of strict control before much experimenting, and I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone, who hasn't achieved a decent (undefined) period of good control, to go off-piste, with the "baddies". Actually, I still haven't eaten the chocolate eclair/profiteroles I regularly promise myself, because when it comes to it, I simply don't really want or need them. I have some quality profiteroles in the freezer, so can act on a whim, if necessary. It just hasn't felt necessary. Personally, I wouldn't be too thrilled by some of your "after" consumption figures, but that's me, and you might see that as frailty of mind, but, I don't actually care. I think it's great there have been a number of successful approaches on these boards, I'm not in the ultra LCHF, or any other camp, but I would ask you to consider how you express yourself sometimes. [USER=141633]@vit90[/USER] - I apologise if you feel I have derailed this thread, but I couldn't sit on my hands any longer. [/QUOTE]
