[QUOTE="jopar, post: 1114165, member: 11712"] You've been a diabetic for what almost 4 months And you asking me who's been a T1 diabetic for 27 years, 'Why I don't get it' with LCHF diets? You may think I don't get it, but I actually do get it.. A LCHF diet isn't suitable for all, other conditions may be present that an LCHF diet would seriously impact on, or perhaps the individual doesn't actually need it... And then there's individual choice, what you deem to be perfect and/or sensible control, their idea of good control may differ, same with medication, one might be happy to use medication to support their condition other may not, but strangely for T2's following an LCHF diet doesn't always avoid the need to support their diabetes with medication. Same with T1's I've seen one T1 on this forum, who bangs the drum of LCHF diets, and on occasions basically attacked me for my views, strangely after 27 years of diabetes, I still only use insulin, I need no other meds for cholesterol, blood pressure etc... But this particular individual, have slowly increased medication to deal with their diabetes! One of the biggest reasons that people who try the LCHF diet struggle, is because of the restrictions of food types, it gets boring, and sorry a cauliflower will always be a cauliflower, preparing it in a certain way, doesn't make it taste like the item of carby food you're trying to substitute for! Grating an Cauliflower or how skillfully you cook it, it will not taste nor will it's texture replace Rice! I agree a diabetic will have to control their carb intake, but putting forward that there's only one way is so wrong, it's about teaching the diabetic, where carbs are to be found in food, how they can react (as this can be different for different people) as to maintain control, may be that certain foods can only be ate in a limited and/or eaten at particular times of the day.... I've know people who rocket if they have a slice of toast for breakfast, but by supper time they don't get a problem... What I don't get is the intolerance of low carbers, who think that because another individual doesn't want or perhaps need to follow this regime that they must be attacked, belittled etc etc... Or as my consultant will say, there is no right or wrong way, the right way is what works for you.... [/QUOTE]
