Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2669872" data-attributes="member: 401801">I'm probably missing the point because I have a rather full mind that the moment: I'm likely to start on medication that could vastly improve my quality of life, after almost 4,5 decades of living in sheer misery, but it could possibly shave years off of my heart functioning, and it doesn't function well to begin with. Would I make a 6 month sacrifice to eat whatever? No. Because I've seen what my bloodwork tells me. Low carb, high fat fixed my diabetes, fixed my non alcoholic fatty liver disease, my cholesterol is fine.... All's good, in a plethora of areas. I wouldn't trade that for being able to eat spuds and cake. I miss high tea's, yeah, and I should've indulged more when I could way back when, but that's come and gone. Some things are worth sacrificing time for. Some, aren't, when there are perfectly fine other ways that suit one's lifestyle, health and needs.I was just wondering why a place that has conceded low carb works, and works well, still says it also doesn't at the same time. It sends out mixed signals and those really, really are unhelpful to the newly diagnosed. There's many options for treatment, low carbing is just one of them. Ah well. I should get myself in gear, lots to do to day. Sorry for being thick.</blockquote>
