That’s encouraging to know about C-peptide, I appreciate the update, and you’re quite right, I was diagnosed in July this year, so I’m still definitely a noob to diabetes (and not surprised my doctors steered me wrong on my numbers). However, I am not a noob when it comes to diet debates - I have decades of knowledge and experience in the full spectrum of that realm.
Frankly, I find debating about diet extremely tedious. Vegetarianism/eating vegetables/whatever should never have been raised in this thread, it was specifically and purposefully excluded by the subject, yet here we are. I replied to @Marilyn6 because, despite her trying to divert the thread, she was respectful, so I thought it might be an amusing diversion to air out a little bit of the debate for a lark, however disinterested I am. One can only assume that anything I wrote would fall on deaf “ears” so to speak due the nature of proselytisers, so I knew it was pointless, but hey, I had a little time, so what the hell. That’s my mistake, and I’ll be careful not to make it again.
Where @Marilyn6 was respectful, you have not had the same finesse, so I feel comfortable responding in kind.
Personally, I cannot emphasise the extent to which I could not care less about how other people choose to eat: I would never tell you, or anyone else, how to eat, or balk at the validity of anyone else’s opinions, and I’ll appreciate you doing the same in future. I’ve done all the things, I’ve held all the opinions, and I understand how anyone can come to any of the conclusions, because I’ve already been there, so I know there’s no point to telling you (or anyone) what you should do or believe because we all need to arrive at our own decisions, so I will only concern myself with my decisions. I could reply to your assumptions, but idgaf, so…
Given how my first experience of this forum is to have my thread subverted by the clique, I won’t bother asking the other questions I have on this forum, there’s clearly an agenda to propagate “the one true diet faith” so outlining a scope for a thread is not only pointless, but will invite more of the same as what’s happened here. How droll…
The scope of the original post has been asked and answered, so from here on I won’t bother to engage with anything other than what addresses the actual question at hand, and let’s face it, in all likelihood I won’t come back at all, so the clique can rejoice: the enemy has been routed. Well done.
