I got an online diet from the Oxfordiet, has anyone experienced using the diabetic diet on this site? Is that good? Bad? Whatever?

Never heard of it or seen it mentioned by anyone. Could it be something specific offered by your CCG?

One of my friends introduced that to me, and it seems she got good results from their diet. I do not know how well it will work for me.

reading their replies to a comment where someone asked "is this suitable for diabetics":

Actually, both are important. For example, based on your condition, you are allowed to eat 300 grams of carbohydrates; if you eat this amount from refined carbs, your blood glucose spike and negatively affects your health. So it's better to use wholemeal bread instead of refined one.
Refined carbs raise blood sugar more than whole-grain even in less amount.

If type 1 - no need to limit carbs at all
if type 2 - that's waaaay too many carbs, more than double recommended.

I would personally say avoid.

Not a fan of sites with pop ups trying to hard sell an eating plan without giving examples of what the diet is about either.

Thank you so much,

1 more question:
My doc said in type 1, limiting carbs causes decreased insulin requirement. I don't know how much is that true. What is your opinion?

really odd bit of info for your doc to be telling you as a t2 but in theory yes, but there's no need to do it unless it is your own personal choice to go low carb or access to enough insulin is a concern.
Obviously healthy balanced diet is recommended as it is for any non diabetic without other dietary complications.

Thank you for your response.

They seem to be based in Vancouver. (I had a dig on the website after I noticed 'fiber' spelt the American way.)

Oh yea, I saw contact information (https://oxfordiet.com/contact-us) just now; I think they created my diet plan in the American way. 🙂
