CarbRok is blunt at times. In this case very justified.
Stupid is as stupid does, springs to mind regarding the origional poster.
A quick google search shows many a post where pumpers have damaged their pumps going through the scanners. Pump companies always tell pumpers not to go through full body scanners.
This is the second time the OP has done this so obviously hasn't learnt from the first episode.
No, the bluntness was NOT justified. A simple, respectful, response with a link to the appropriate web page would have been much more helpful.
Ah, methinks I detect a bit of the pot calling the kettle black going on here. I vaguely remember a thread on LCD where someone, who shall remain nameless but has the same name as a rather famous horse, pronounced that anyone who fell off the low carb wagon obviously had no will power.
Have we matured a bit? Doubtful, given the tenor of most of the posts on here.
Why are you defending a pump user anyway? I thought low carb was the bee's knees when it came to diabetes management. Surely you should be convincing the OP to do away with the pump and return to managing their BG with good old fashioned insulin and a low carb diet - in which case, apart from the insulin requirement for protein, and the carbs they're allowed to eat, and also catering for the pizza effect of the fat they consume - there would be no need for a pump! *simples* as my old mucked the canard would say!

What a load of bollocks!!
I've never ONCE seen an insulin user slated on here just for being an insulin user! Many type 1's low carb to keep insulin requirements down to a minimum,myself included(DR Bernstein too,heard of him? or is the Pilsbury dough boy more your kind of Guru?) Typical mud slinging from a low carb anti who has no valid arguement or nothing of value to add!

"Why are you defending a pump user anyway?"
From what I can see it was not about defending a pump user but the condescending manner in which CarbsRok responded to the poster. The title of this blog post should give you a clue.

Thanks Paul very succinctly put.
Yet again we see the terrible consequences of excessive carbohydrate consumption and BG rammed down with ever more meds. Kenny boy, Carbo, Bonkers, Nobhead and a few others shooting the meds to cover a donut.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care how anyone controls their diabetes, it’s when they use misinformation and lies to rubbish others methods of control that I fight against.

So what you are saying then Eddie is that the OP should be gven a pat on the back and not a rap over the knuckles for wasting £6.000?
His pump was replaced twice, the cost will be higher costs though for PCT's and guess who's pocket it comes out of?
You moan at the big pharma. Look closer to home, as in the patients draining NHS resorces. That 6 grand would have bought a lot of test strips for type 2's.

You could argue I have been a drain on NHS resources. My stent work cost a lot more than 6 grand. However, I have paid in to the NHS for 47 years and am I still still paying.
Maybe this guy you feel is a drain will pay into the fund all his life and contribute far more than he takes out. The strong must look after the weak, at some time in our lives, most of us are weak, if not be very grateful.

You've got all wrong sunbeam we don't tell the pumpers what they should be doing, quite the opposite it's the other way round they think they know better than us how to manage OUR type 2 when it's patently obvious they have not got a clue.
Low Carb = minimum meds safe numbers, really simples.

I can see why some of you got banned from DCUK.
Your comments on this blog about posters on DCUK leave much to be desired.

I think you will find this blog about posters on DCUK leaves a lot more to be desired, the posts are made mainly by anonymous DCUK forum members and the blog owner an ex mod uses a pseudonym as does his sidekick who is still a member at DCUK.
