From a Carbo commenter.

“They don't want comments that would belittle their extreme dogma, how can they try and convince diabetics that their way is the right way if people keep interrupting them with valid comments?”

Let’s have a look at our extreme dogma. For diet we say base your meals on non starchy vegetables. Eat the colours of the rainbow, and as many small and varied portions as you can. The greater the variety the more the nutrients. Add good quality proteins such as lean meat, fish and eggs. Use good quality fats such as avocado, olive oil, butter and cream. Add some nuts and seeds. Stay away from processed, take away and factory foods. Eat foods as close as nature intended.

Establish a regular exercise regime, walking and swimming is good, gardening, car cleaning, house work, anything that keeps you moving. Use the minimum meds that you can to hold non diabetic BG numbers, i.e HbA1c under six and good lipids.

Is this extreme, maybe for Carbo and his follower’s, but not for me. But hey, I am not addicted to carbs. Carbo has admitted he is.
