I am not feeling sorry for the Low Carb High Fat antis, not one bit !

Imagine hanging around on diabetes forums year after year, banging on about low carb and high fat lifestyles are dangerous and will lead to health care problems and serious diseases. Knowing full well the diet you feel is safe requires medication to control BG numbers, and that much of the medications for type two diabetics is dangerous, and some drugs banned, for killing people or have lead to various illness for many people. Some type two meds have no long term track record, and as such come with Black Box cancer warnings to try to avoid litigation, if they also prove to be killers. Remember anti's this is what you promote ! when you push your low GI portion control of cornflakes and fat will kill ya nonsense. Granted, I accept it appears to work for you, but for most active diabetics, who want to avoid dangerous medication, it's a joke.

OK, the straight thinking and experienced well controlled diabetic will not be fooled. They have seen all this hocus pocus smoke and mirror nonsense before. They know diabetes cannot be fooled, they know there is no get out of jail free card. They know type two medication has only small benefits in controlling blood glucose numbers, and they know all medication come with potential serious side effects. But what about the newbie or the poorly educated, the frightened and confused ? They know next to nothing about good control, many have spent years in the wilderness, becoming more ill and more confused as time runs out for them, these are often the easy pickings on forums for the antis. For years I have wondered why such a small group of people have been allowed to have caused so much confusion, and wasted so much of their time trying to bring others down, to get threads locked, and prominent low carbers banned, I am still wondering what motivates these people. I guess I always will.
