[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2140690, member: 365308"] I imagine that being type 1 tends to happen to younger people who are more likely to be active online. I think that we are missing the point if we focus on the diversity of type 1, 2, 3 or pre who are active on this forum though if I were vegan or vegetarian I might feel a little in the minority here! However I don't think that particular area should be policed just that we should all listen to and be respectful of, each other views plus open to other options than low carb; echo chambers can make you deaf to alternate views. To me the bigger problem is that most diabetics are not being supported to make changes in lifestyle (mainly diet) that might make an immense change to their health outcomes. Whether that support is an online forum, walking group or better discussion of the choices at an individual level seems irrelevant to me. And yes, I'd be up for coming to a conference. I run a walk/talk group for diabetics (t2) and learning about how to make better use of online options beyond our WhatsApp group. [/QUOTE]
