Just when it appears the old forum of flog is settling down, the usual suspects ratchet up the entertainment. Ex tyrannical mod “ I only wanted to help people" Kenny boy is over at Carbo’s toxic waste dump of a blog putting the boot in.
“We then had the spectacle of Benedict, the weak and PC 'support team' member make a grovelling apology to the said Dr J !! Benny boy had been trying to tell us how and what we should post for some time and this was just a culmination of the different style that we had compared to him.”
The rest is history, we were kicked out as monitors, and I was later suspended for 7 days. That was the final straw for me and for sue, we asked for our accounts to be deleted as our posts were being 'micro managed' and we felt it was an untenable situation.”
Say what you like about Ken, but we will miss him when he’s gone, a true stand up comic in the finest tradition. The big question, will he ever be gone ? As reported yesterday, Nobhead and the village idiot are in full voice demanding post deletions. This dynamic duo and ex Ken henchmen never miss an opportunity to cause mayhem for anyone who mentions lowcarb or the dreaded F word.
Jopar, the poster who defies even the talents of a Bletchley Park code breaker at times, with her convoluted and virtually unreadable posts, was plain and clear yesterday. When she all but called a new member a liar.
“Sorry I don't think your DSN told you that you needed lots of Carbs to maintain blood glucose levels..”
Swiftly backed up by the village idiot.
“I actually find that hard to believe as well”
During the day as Jopar warmed up and treated us to more of the usual.
“The Admin do have a duty of care, and no bunging a disclaimer onto a post doesn't always carry weight in court”
“After all how many people out there spend hordles of money on 'snack oil' cures for diabetes..”
After a short break, my old nemesis and resident dietition, was back in full Spanish Inquisition mode, hounding another low carber. It never fails to amaze me, how she probes and questions and comments on low carb flog members, but never says a word against the low fat, low calorie, low everything other than med’s mob. This time Jay is getting the third degree.
“I checked with Dr Jay first and he was ok with me posting his food diary. It is of course a snapshot but the results were as follows it would of course be more accurate to do a weighed 7 day intake but it gives a guide.”
“So without the mayo the his fat intake would be below the the recommended. This has always been an unanswered question for me how do low carbers get their fat - oil, coconut oil etc but how tolerable is it . I would love to hear your responses!”
“Unanswered question, I would love to hear your opinion” Let me tell you again. Cheese, double cream, meat, fish, butter, avocado, nuts, seeds, walnut, flax and olive oil etc. etc.
With the coming of a new day, what awaits us on the forum of flog ?

They Shoot Horses Don't They !
Hi carbo......long time no see ! I thought I should put the record straight about my 'pal' canuck otherwise known as Dr J. I have stayed silent over this until now.
Dr J arrived on DCUK and after a few innocous posts made a comment about the only way to control Diabetes was to eat little or no carbs and high levels of fat.
As both myself and Sue were successfully low carbing but for various reasons stuck to a low fat diet as well I told him what we did. He immediately started to tell us that this was unsustainable and implied that we must be lying and that I must be using excessive amounts of alcohol !!
Yes, I took great exception to that as I am not in the habit of lying and I consume a couple of pints of Guinness a week, not every week. I took him to task about this and he then made a post which repeated the allegations. At no time did he ever ask what both sue and I did, he just assumed we were weight stable and therefore we couldn't possibly sustain our method of control. His post was offensive and he edited it before we had a chance to copy it. He also made some disparaging remarks about moderation and started to quote rules to us. In accordance with the stated policy on DCUK we decided to suspend him for 7 days so that he could think about his manner of posting, which was both arrogant and rude. He was duly suspended for that reason and we would have allowed him back at the end of the suspension.
We later found that he then posted on a blog criticising both of us and also DCUK. Making quite a fuss about it all. We then decided to make the suspension a permanent ban as it was apparent he had deliberately targeted both of us in an attempt to discredit us. Something we were not going to tolerate.
We then had the spectacle of Benedict, the weak and PC 'support team' member make a grovelling apology to the said Dr J !! Benny boy had been trying to tell us how and what we should post for some time and this was just a culmination of the different style that we had compared to him.
The rest is history, we were kicked out as monitors, and I was later suspended for 7 days. That was the final straw for me and for sue, we asked for our accounts to be deleted as our posts were being 'micro managed' and we felt it was an untenable situation.
We no longer post on DCUK and have no plans to go back there. Whatever we post is not good enough for Benny and the lacklustre new mods, with just a couple of exceptions. A sad state of affairs after all the work we did to make the place a safe and informative place for ALL Diabetics......
There's a lot more I could say about many things but that will do for now.....

There was no 'commandment' just a rule agreed with the then Administrator that criticism was not allowed and could be a banning offence. The reason for that was some of the offensive and vicious posts and PM's made by certain members who targeted both myself and Sue week after week. It was required to protect us both and give a clear message that that sort of behaviour would not be tolerated. Most people NEVER saw the sort of stuff that we had to put up with, just what they saw on the boards. Neither myself or Sue apologise for that rule. It was a necessary evil. It also wasn't enforced much either contrary to uninformed opinion.
What the rules are now with Benny in charge is anybodys guess ! He seems to make them up as he goes along. One unwritten one is we mustn't call the idiot 'the idiot !'. Apparently he reads DCUK and as Benny also known as Alaska is an avowed low carber with praise for the idiot - that is not allowed !
Anyway, neither Sue or myself are members there any more so I don't feel bound by any rules which may or may not apply there. We are freelance now !

"I eat around 30-35% fat . 15% protein and the remainder as CHO - not sugar but mainly wholegrain bread, baby potatoes with skin , pasta occ and brown rice, pulses and fruit. I would struggle to eat more fat as I actually do not like fat very much - but I use butter, olive oil , mayo.
I am slim , have no health issues along with the rest of my family.
The key for me is no sugar and occ treats. I must be the only woman on earth that hates chocolate!
I use around 40% CHO for my pts and get great results with many. Some take no notice of anything any one tells them - but that is the same with many health issues such as smoking.
I will help pts if they want to low carb but they will get the benefit of me looking at their diet in detail - not just the carbs etc.

I mentioned the paleo thing as so many seem to be in to that as well!"
So, our non diabetic dietitian can consume around 50-55% carb and her patients 40% carb.
The big question is how many, and how much meds are her patients on ? We will never get a straight answer of course, but it gives Ally something to do. I notice she has been busy deleting some of her more ridiculous posts on various forums. She is not as dumb as she makes out.
What some people will do to line their pockets eh ! The most dangerous and useless poster on any forum I have ever seen in my opinion, and I have seen a lot of numbskull's. But hey, think of the money eh !

THE CIRCUS MAXIMUS EDITION TWO
"As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities." ~ Voltaire
Ken may have done a Captain Oates, (a win win situation for Ken and the members) but the clique still do their best to control the forum of flog. Sid Bonkers who has posted on this blog stating “I’m a lowcarber too” then posted on the flog recently, a carb intake of 80-130 carbs per day, and the arch groveller Nobhead are at still living in the past.By Nobhead yesterday 5.31pm. yesterday.
“With respect but these threads don't need to be moved to the Weight Loss Section but removed from the forum altogether!
They serve no purpose whatsoever except to the individuals involved, as the biggest UK diabetes forum it turns my blood cold that newbies may consider this a serious option, even worse is that HCP may be viewing the forum and shaking their heads in disbelief that these threads are drawing so much attention.
No disrespect guys but could you continue these diets and discussions via pm to let more serious dietary discussions to flow?
Nigel”
The Bonkers one Today 7.17am.
“I actually believe these threads are dangerous and should be removed for that reason alone, crash diets DO NOT WORK in the long term that has been proven without exception time and time again I did it myself in the 80's with one of these shakes diets, lost loads of weight and put it straight back on plus a bit more because I failed to change my eating and drinking habits afterwards and its lifestyle changes that result in long term weight loss.
Disclaimer:
Opinions, everyone has one and thats mine and I care not whether you agree with it or not.”
So, the low-fat, low-calorie, low-salt, (carbs depending on the wind direction) clique can have an opinion, but If it does not fit into their idea of sound diabetes control, they want posts deleted. Can someone tell these two, that the days of a mod pandering to their every whim, and jaundiced crack pot philosophising, are over, I hope !

What is the Cause of the Obesity Epidemic in the U.S.?
Two Keys to Curb Out-of-Control Obesity…
I believe there are two primary dietary recommendations that could make all the difference in the world. Unfortunately, they’re both extremely unpopular because accepting these recommendations means cutting profitability for the food industry, and major health agencies having to confess that they’ve been misleading you for a very long time…http://healthimpactnews.com/2011/what-is-the-cause-of-the-obesity-epidemic-in-the-u-s/
The two primary keys I’m talking about are:
While health authorities insist that sugar is fine “in moderation,” and that grains are an essential part of a healthy diet and can actually help you prevent heart disease, they fail to take into consideration that:
- Severely restricting carbohydrates (sugars, fructose, and grains) in your diet, and
- Increasing healthy fat consumption
They’ve been equally wrong about fat.
- Fructose is the NUMBER ONE source of calories in the US. This means it’s far from “moderate,” and this is not at all surprising when you consider that fructose, primarily in the form of cheap high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), is in just about everything—even food items you’d never expect would need it, including diet foods and ‘enhanced’ water products. Even most infant formulas contain the sugar equivalent of one can of Coca-Cola!
- Refined carbohydrates (breakfast cereals, bagels, waffles etc) quickly breaks down to sugar, increase your insulin levels, and cause insulin resistance, which is the number one underlying factor of nearly every chronic disease known to man, including heart disease
Big Pharma Rip Off !
Jo Kelly, a retired social worker in Conklin, Mich., and her husband, Ray, a retired railroad mechanic, each take Lipitor and two other brand-name medicines, plus some generic drugs. Both are 67, and they land in the Medicare prescription "doughnut hole," which means they must pay their drugs' full cost by late summer or early fall each year. That pushes their monthly cost for Lipitor to about $95 each, and their combined monthly prescription cost to nearly $1,100.
Generic Lipitor should hit pharmacies Nov. 30 and cost them around $10 each a month.
"It would be a tremendous help for us financially," she says. "It would allow us to start going out to eat again."

Why James Murdoch Is Now a Headache for Glaxo !
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) CEO Andrew Witty is no doubt gnashing his teeth over James Murdoch’s testimony to the U.K. parliament yesterday on the phone hacking scandal at News Corp. (NWS). Murdoch has sat on GSK’s board of directors since 2009. Murdoch is on the two of GSK’s board committees, corporate responsibility and remuneration. He now looks like an unfortunate candidate for both those jobs.
Reducing Fats does not Prevent Heart Disease or Save Lives.
"I’d agree regarding the importance of the public getting evidence-based advice. But why the need for further research? Are the results not clear? The pooled results of 48 studies show that low-fat eating or replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats is an unmitigated failure. Why do we need more research? In the hope of keeping the fallacy alive?
What do the authors mean when they say “No clear effects of these interventions on total or cardiovascular mortality were seen.” Let me reword this line for the authors and call a spade a spade: “Conventional dietary advice regarding fat consumption has been proven to have no effect on risk of heart attack or stroke or cardiovascular mortality or total mortality – they don’t prevent disease nor save lives. We should abandon them.”

Carbo. The carb loving diabetic !
Check out Carbophiles blog and you will not see any links to useful sites or good information. You will not see any useful recipes for diabetics. You will not see any links to his website (he does not have one, they cost money). His forum failed when some money was required to keep it going. You will not see any information for controlling BG numbers. You will not see any information that helps to control diabetes.
So what do you see ? A blog of hate, a blog of lies and misinformation ! A blog where anonymous people are afraid to post even their forum names. Carbo posts the hate, but has zilch courage of his convictions, he refuses to meet me. As he once stated “this blog is for my personal pleasure”
Carbo likes to not control his obesity with carbs and Orlistat ! Self imposed dysentery is not my idea of fun, but each to his own eh. Carbo is a liar and gutless.
One thing I have to thank Carbo for is the page views on this site, around 33% of page views comes from his site. Maybe, just maybe, some of his anti lowcarb high med miscreants might see the light. I’m an optimist.
The recent post sums this high carb blowhard up.
"While it's not one of my best sentences It's still a well crafted one" You write a fair post Carbo but the content sucks !
Keep up the good work Carbo, it’s people like you that keep me going ! Who knows, you may one day acquire the courage to meet me. OK, maybe you should carry on skulking in the shadows and belittle people that have the courage of their convictions and prepared to publish their real name. You do at least offer a service for the liars and the failed. You fool no one other than your ilk. You may be addicted to carbs, but why are you hell bent on bringing people down to your level ?

Win a copy of Antony Worrall Thompson's weight loss cookbook !
The last time I saw AWT he was carrying a lot of excess blubber. He has come up with a cook book especially for diabetics.
"In 2003, Antony Worrall Thompson was told that he was at great risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes if left unchecked.
This diagnosis was the impetus Worrall Thompson needed to change his eating habits and his lifestyle, and led the celebrity chef to take a great interest in healthy cooking.
Worrall Thompson has worked with qualified dietitians to write cookbooks specifically for people with diabetes"
If he is eating some of the recipes in this cook book (check out the links in the link) full blown type two diabetes may be on the way. If he had kept away from dietitians he may have got it right.

Summer Time Foot Care, Special Awareness Needed For Diabetes Patients.

Could a High-Fat, Low-Carb Diet Replace Dialysis ?
"A type of low-carb, high-fat diet that's typically used to manage seizures for children with epilepsy could reverse kidney disease in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics, a new animal study suggests.
If successful in humans, the so-called ketogenic diet could have the potential to replace dialysis, which is a procedure that artificially filters blood in place of a damaged or failed kidney, said study researcher Charles Mobbs, professor of neuroscience and geriatrics and palliative care medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City"
I am fairly sceptical about this sort of study, too many times what works in a mouse does not work for a human being. However, does anyone remember Peppi ? He was diagnosed with severe kidney failure and his Doctor told him his life would be reduced significantly. Peppi went very low carb and reversed his kidney failure ! His Doctor was stunned and had never seen this happen before. I know two type one diabetics who have improved their GFR rate significantly with a lowcarb high fat diet. The sooner sugar and highly refined carbohydrates carry a government health warning the better !

More from Carbo the great !
"I also appreciate the double standards – he continues to bewail his treatment at DCUK…on his blog…and yet when Edie’s victims complain about Edie’s behaviour he backs off. Jay joined DCUK to defend Edie’s position. It has to be said that it is this bystander’s opinion that Edie might have been just a little bit economic with the actualité with both Jimmy Moore and Jay. Personally, I’d have done a little more research before supporting someone as unpleasant as Edie."
Get real you sad chump. Do you really think a highly respected healthcare pro would join a forum to defend me ! You are more shot away than I thought ! Get lowcarbing and see the light. Dump those carbs !
Eddie
PS. Latest from the Carbo blog.
"Oooooh! Edie wants a face to face with Carbophile! Now that I would pay to see!
Any bets on that ever happening?"
Never in a million years ! Carbo is gutless and knows it !

Carbo sinks to a new low !
My arch nemesis Carbo the great (other than the dietition Ally) whose blog states on his blog header, “A simple carb loving person with diabetes, struggling with managing the condition and living a normal life”
Believe it or not how a person lives and whatever their poison is no great deal to me, but why drag others into the mire ? Carbo and his anonymous crew, they are always very anonymous, kick me to death at every opportunity. I know they are obsessed with me as this blog gives details of traffic sources and his gang of miscreants are on this blog 24/7 around the clock.
Allegedly Carbo is the fired moderator at DUK and the owner of the failed and defunct forum of failure ‘Diabetes for life’ Tubolard. Who knows, who cares ? I suspect we are all carb lovers, but some appreciate they have lead to our downfall. Some are addicted to carbs, why don’t they admit it and stop trying to bring others down to their level.
What sticks in my craw is how they disrupt, ridicule and try to bring others down to their level. Let them eat carbs and good luck to them, but to control diabetes you need a lot more than luck, and that’s a fact !
So Carbo, how about letting us know who you are. Start with your forum name and work up to your real name. How about meeting me. My money is on you are gutless and a coward and will skulk in the shadows forever. Keep spreading the lies and misinformation, you know how to contact me.

The Chipboard Diet.
How many times have you taken that unwanted and cheapo piece of furniture to the rubbish dump ? Most of this stuff is made of chipboard. I have devised a new diet that is lowcarb, cheap and helps recycling and global warming, ‘The Chipboard Diet’ !
Saw or smash the unwanted desk or table into food processor sized pieces and grind until fine. A useful tip ! Remove all nails, screws and metal parts first ! Add half a pint of hot water and an oxo cube, stir well and drink. Very filling and cheap and I guarantee lower BG numbers than Optislime. I reckon this food is high in fibre but as for calories who knows.
Another useful weight loss tip.
Run very high BG numbers until severe complications set in. When your legs have turned to condemned corned-beef, have them amputated. I reckon around 70-100 lbs weight loss in about 1 hour, think of the saving on shoes !

I reckon this food is high in fibre but as for calories who knows.
Another useful weight loss tip.
Run very high BG numbers until severe complications set in. When your legs have turned to condemned corned-beef, have them amputated. I reckon around 70-100 lbs weight loss in about 1 hour, think of the saving on shoes !

Prescriptions rise 70pc in a decade !
"Meanwhile, the drugs bill to tackle diabetes has risen rapidly. Experts say this is due both to a rise in the numbers of people with the disease - curreently estimated at about 2.5 million - and the fact a number of expensive new treatments have come on to the market. "
If you check out the NHS stats you see no progress has been made in the fight against serious complications, safer HbA1c numbers and life expectancy for diabetics. The new expensive drugs and healthcare professionals and dietitions have got nowhere, in fact the situation is getting worse. Diabetics requiring kidney dialysis is going up steeply.
There is no quick fix method to control type two diabetes, drugs or 600 calorie starvation diets will cure or control zilch. The chief symptom of type two diabetes is raised blood glucose and insulin levels. The food that brings this about is carbohydrates. I am sure every person reading this knows this for a fact. When are the medics going to realise ? Lowcarbing could save the NHS hundreds of millions of £s per year. Not only save money but show some real progress in the gruesome stats the NHS publish every year.

NHS Statistics for 2008 2009:
Percentage of Type 1 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 7.5 per cent = 71.4 per cent.
Percentage of Type 2 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 7.5 per cent = 33.4 per cent.
Percentage of Type 1 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 10.0 per cent = 33.6 per cent.
Percentage of Type 2 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 10.0 per cent = 14.3 per cent.
These results are very similar to those found in 2006 – 2007 and 2007 – 2008.

Good luck with this - but it does sound a bit barking.
As reported a few intrepid seekers of the truth, or raving lunatics, depending on your point of view, are going for a 600 calories diet. This self administered flagellation has come about from the so called cure announced by Professor Roy Taylor et al. Evidently starving yourself close to death can cure type two diabetes. One of the guys doing a ‘Roy Taylor’ as I am sure this form of torture will become known as, has published his BG numbers for the last day and a half. These numbers range from 9.6 to 18.5. With an average of 13.7 when I last checked. These numbers are roughly three times higher than a non diabetic !
As one of the few awake and compos mentis members over at the forum of flog said on the thread “Good luck with this - but it does sound a bit barking” I could not agree more. There could be some method in Patches apparent madness. If he can keep up these highly dangerous BG numbers, a mods job or even chief administrators job could his for the asking. What ever happened to the 5% club ? OK, I know the answer to that one, most got banned or left.
The crazy world of diabetes if far crazier than I ever imagined and appears to be getting worse by the day.

Weight loss and Lowcarb: Time to stop denying the science !
I’m having a debate in a Norwegian paper with some official “nutrition experts”. They claimed that weight loss studies do not show any advantage for low carb diets. Unbelievably enough, that is what many so called experts still believe.
It’s either ignorance or science denial.
There are at least thirteen [updated:14] modern high quality trials that have shown significantly better weight loss with low carb diets. Here they are:

The American obesity epidemic 1989 – 2010.
"Here is the obesity prevalence in the USA in 1989, as the modern obesity epidemic was just getting started. A few years earlier the fear of fat had gripped the nation, and eating carbohydrates instead was the solution.
Two short decades later, in 2009, the official obesity statistics had changed beyond all recognition. And every year there is a new record. Just recently the numbers for 2010 was released. Do you want to see them?"
Very much the same in the UK !

The lunacy of the 600 calorie diet.
Not so long ago, headline news stated Professor Roy Taylor a diabetes expert, had run a short trial with a few type two diabetics. He was surprised to find a calorie reduced diet of 600 calories a day appeared to reverse type two diabetes. I do not know if it dawned on him this must have meant a big reduction in carbohydrates as well as calories.
I see some brave souls are going for this torturous diet on the forum of flog, looking to reverse their type two diabetes. While I admire anyone who rolls the dice and tries to improve their health, they are wasting their time. I hope I am 100% wrong, but the facts are stacked against these intrepid people. I am sure they will lose weight and their BG numbers will plummet, but an eight week starvation diet is no cure.
There is no cure for type two diabetes. A typical type two diabetic at diagnosis has lost around 50% of beta cells. No diet will make them grow back. The key to reversing dangerous BG numbers is a strict reduction in the food that raises BG numbers i.e. carbs, for life not eight weeks !
Almost all diets fail, almost all diets involve a strict reduction in calories, that’s why they fail, starvation will always win. What we eat is as important as how much we eat. For most this is not just a calories in calories out situation, it’s far more complicated. Whether type one or two or non diabetic, the control of insulin is paramount in weight control and good health.

Why Drug Companies Do Not Want To Cure You !
We are familiar with the situation we find ourselves in, with illogical and dangerous opposition to the diet heretics that deny the true faith about the cause of many of today's ailments. It's happened before and truth finally won!
In 1982, two Australian doctors published an academic paper indicating that stomach ulcers were often caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. You would think the findings would be welcomed with open arms - not by everyone! As the extract below shows.
It took many years, however, before the seemingly simple cause for ulcers was accepted.
Drug companies that make enormous profits derived from the production of antacid tablets to relieve discomfort, were particularly antagonistic to the findings. Companies like GlaxoSmithKline and Astra had an annual income of over $8 billion from the sale of ulcer treatments such as “Tagamet” and “Zantac”. In 95 percent of cases, the symptoms returned within a year.
In a 1998 interview, Marshall explained: “The livelihood of gastroenterologists and many of the drug companies depended on these drugs that were worth billions of dollars, treating millions of people with ulcers.” When the symptoms returned, people were told to try a new drug.
“A pharmaceutical company wants to sell you a drug that you take every day for the rest of your life, a cholesterol drug, a diabetes drug, they are great sellers. If they sell you a drug which cures you, you only need to take it once or for one week. So how can you make it generate as much profit? I wasn’t supported by the big drug companies. There was plenty of money going into ulcer research, but not into these bacteria,” Marshall said."
