Really? I rarely see a need to announce what I never do in that way. My blog is written as an archive to store standard replies to new people because the same questions are repeated over and over.
At the top of every page on this forum is this advice from the moderators: "Please be respectful of other peoples' opinions within our online community."
As an old-timer but new returnee I am trying hard to do that in my replies to you. I ask the same from you as we clearly have very different opinions about management of type 2 diabetes over the long term. The Newcastle diet has worked for you and for some others but is very unlikely to be able to be followed by the vast majority of newly diagnosed people. It is difficult enough to get many people to change their menu and reduce carbs significantly let alone go on a drastically low calorie diet.
Despite that I will respect your wish to promote the Newcastle Diet provided you respect my wish to promote feedback from peak post-meal testing.
Ah, maybe you need to learn times have changed, and you need to respect people can make their own choices, rather than right them off as failures that can't decide their own path, and one "standard" answer fits all.
If you have already decided the vast majority can't reduce calories, maybe you need to step back , and accept that was your failure, not everyone elses?
Please be respectful of other people's strengths, don't decide that others can't make choices you consider "difficult"
We are all different, we can all make our own "difficult" choices.
You have already insulted me, and others, by telling those of us that have reversed our diabetes that we must be wrong, as you don't believe you could do it.
So I ask you to consider your replies, as we don't lie.
We have simply moved on to modern practices.
I had a type 1 "old-timer" who used to work for me.
His routine was to inject the same insulin, and to eat the same foods every day.
This worked perfectly for him, for nearly fifty years. It was his own personal system. And he managed that very well.
But nowadays, times change.
Same for type 2.
I appreciate you have coped really well, when you were diagnosed no one knew what the future would bring, no one knew what could change, and you found a way to cope at the time. It must have been very difficult back them.
No doubt your archive provides a window into the past.
But as I said, it's not my past, and it's not a thing I do.
And there is no need to announce you are respecting my wishes, as you say, no need at all to announce yourself.
