My name is Franziska. I don't have diabetes, but I'm a dietitian who believes carb restriction is the best option for people with DM or insulin resistance. Thanks for starting this forum, Eddie, Jan, Graham, Paul, and any Low Carb Diabetic team members I've forgotten

I blame my diabetes, at least in part, on my 7 years of a 'heart healthy' low fat diet along with medications (including statins). Since my diagnosis I have been trying to learn as much as I can about diabetes and metabolic diseases. Books that I have read include Bernstien, Taubes, Phinney, Volek, Teicholz, and Kendrick. I also visit many blogs and forums each day. And I am now taking a biochemistry/genetics class so that I can more easily understand medical and scientific papers.

Overall I am very appalled by the 'official' advice given to people with diabetes and other metabolic diseases. I would like to see this changed and hope that I can do my share to make this happen.

Not to mention drama queens and panic merchants   

Sometimes I read the 'woe is me' threads and wonder to myself whatever happened to the British tradition of stiff upper lip and carry on regardless

What's with the pom bashing Jill   To think we counted on you as a friend  but I'm sure it was said in jest wasn't it  

To show there's no hard feelings I've found this brilliant version of Waltzing Matilda just for you and not forgetting Jack of course.

Something to look into in the future perhaps?

I would say "+1" would do the job in the meanwhile but for some reason I've developed a real phobia of that!
