Message: <blockquote data-quote="KathyCP" data-source="post: 1571151" data-attributes="member: 424527">ok, i sent DUK an e-mail asking about why nothing about lchf diet on their website, and i received a reply on fri. it was quite helpful, and included a link to their current position statement on lchf, which seems pretty ok (if an ordinary visitor to the site can ever find it): <a href="https://www.diabetes.org.uk/professionals/position-statements-reports/food-nutrition-lifestyle/low-carb-diets-for-people-with-diabetes/" target="_blank">https://www.diabetes.org.uk/professionals/position-statements-reports/food-nutrition-lifestyle/low-carb-diets-for-people-with-diabetes/</a>however, i noticed that the first thing that the person replying did in her response was to congratulate me on losing weight and improving my bg levels through diet and exercise. no mention anywhere of the commonly-experienced effect of carbs on T2 bg levels. so i emailed back again, and asked her why she'd made that point about my weight, when it hadn't been the subject of my e-mail and has never been a major problem in relation to my diabetes, whereas my body's inability to process carbs certainly has been.  i also asked her why the only info that DUK gives about carbs is that they are essential for a healthy diet but also that the main sources of carbs are starchy carbs and sugar, thereby implying that you must eat starchy carbs in order to stay healthy, as there is no mention of any other types of food which you can eat to get the relatively small amount of carbs your body needs.  i also gave her an example with figures of the effect of starchy carbs on my own bg levels. awaiting the next reply .....</blockquote>
