[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1232750, member: 211362"] I'm not in UK.... but the survey is hard to do when you haven't mentioned what exactly people aren't complying to. So I haven't answered your survey as really I could select a few of those for reasons not to follow any diet and not just diabetes specific. Personally I eat to my meter these days. I also eat to avoid pain and choking. So I don't follow particular diets as such other than eliminating foods that cause me pain and nearly kill me (choking). But unfortunately I've had to eliminate a lot of foods from my diet as I pretty much can't eat acidic foods. I have to watch texture of foods as it doesn't take much for me to choke considering my throat and oesophagus both don't move normally. When I was first diagnosed with diabetes I kept a food diary and was stupid enough to use the so called diabetic friendly foods at times which are full of artificial sweeteners and starch. I stopped having any of those long ago. I've tried various diets and find that eating what works for me works best in the end. How a diabetic eats is a personal journey and I wouldn't say there is a specific diet that works for everyone. [/QUOTE]
