"Presumably I should have just ignored i the problem and left it to the insulin to sort out because it's obviously my secret weapon. I certainly had no choice in the matter of whether I should take it or not." phoenix


That is true, but you do have a choice on what you eat and how much insulin you use. That is your choice, and your choice is to follow the type of diet and carb intake promoted by the NHS, DUK and ADA. Many others have no choice ! A test strip on prescription is a dream for many diabetics, let alone insulin and a pump, test strips and the highly skilled training that goes with it.

You have so much to say at diabetes.co.uk, your own blog, and blogs such as the raving Carbsane asylum. Why don’t you come over here, and tell us how we can hold non diabetic BG numbers, stable weight, and good lipids on your daily intake of carbs, on nil or minimal diabetic meds. Perhaps we could all follow your high carb diet, I am sure our Doctors can't wait to issue us with pumps, insulin and test strips etc. Get real woman, and be grateful you have choices. You have it all, and all you do is sit there day after day spreading doom and misinformation. 

As you said, “I certainly had no choice” but many diabetics do have a choice, a change of lifestyle or ever increasing meds ! Why are you so bitter and twisted and jealous of others who are prepared to sacrifice their favourite foods and work hard to be self sufficient and not be slaves to big pharma and junk food outfits.

You know who and where I am phoenix.
