The lowcarb forum at diabetes.co.uk

“A forum for those that low-carb, and those that wish to learn more about low-carbing. Please do not come into this forum to debate the validity of low-carbing - this forum is for those that wish to learn more and exchange ideas”

Imagine the uproar, if lowcarbing non meds type two’s, wondered into the type one, or pump forum telling them how to control their diabetes. Why do the high carb/high med, often on a pump folks, spend most of their time in the lowcarb forum ? Is it guilt ? Is it jealousy ? That some are prepared to make a big effort, and change their lifestyle and get of their butts and exercise, rather than depend on meds. We need to be told.

Personally I don’t give a monkeys what others do. Let them “fill their face with carbs” let them “ burn Bernstein’s books” let them pig out on “celebration chocolates and toast” let them stick to their 50% per meal carb intake and pump. But please tell me why they want to bring others down to their level.

Comment from bonkers today in the Low Carb Forum;

"Who's debating the validity of low carbing, I low carb myself, just not to the extremes that you do. Have you even considered that some people may be interested in what I have to say"

This is what he had to say in the non Low Carb form;

"I am defiantly not a 'vehement anti low poster' But do not low carb myself."
