[QUOTE="Munkki, post: 1234269, member: 194901"] I am not sure how I can define 'my dietary regime' in terms of your question. When I was diagnosed with prediabetes, I managed to reduce my HbA1c down to the lower end of prediabetes. When I asked my GP about paleo (I did not know what I was doing, but I was eating low-carb-ish), he reacted somewhat outraged and told me to eat the Mediterranean diet. Within less than a year my sugars went up into the proper diabetic range. If this Mediterranean diet was 'my dietary regime', I stopped it because it did not work. I am creating my own, reading scientific papers and this forum. My new GP now comments on it simply with "Just continue with ... eh... what you are doing." If this is 'my dietary regime', I don't fail. I have exceptions in social situations, for example, but generally my bloods are in the healthy range, so I won't classify a bite of cake as failure. Regarding the papers you listed, I doubt that the dietary regimes are the LCHF regimes of the forum members. Such papers need to take into account the discrepancy between the prescribed eat well plate, which does not work, increase cravings, leave people frustrated and decreases trust in the NHS on the one hand, and the LCHF diet on the other hand. Do you have papers at hand that research compliance with LCHF? [/QUOTE]
