Get advice from your diabetogist. Proper diabetes control is important if you value your eyes, kidneys and feet etc

In proportion its not, but over doing it is. I am not overweight, I am 5"9 and weigh 11st 13 but still want to eat better than I am just now.

It is not as simple as stating overdoing fats is bad for you, without quantifying what fats, we need to get out of the habit of thinking about fats negatively.

There are numerous types of fat. Your body even makes its own fat from taking in excess calories. Fat is essential to your health because it supports a number of your body's functions. Some vitamins, for instance, must have fat to dissolve and nourish your body.
Monounsaturated fat for example improves blood cholesterol levels, which can decrease your risk of heart disease and benefits insulin levels and blood sugar control, which can be especially helpful if you have type 2 diabetes. Omega3 is also a fat and is highly recommended as part of a healthy diet.
There are two main types of potentially harmful dietary fat which are Saturated fat and Trans fat it is these which are bad for you.

Most fats that have a high percentage of saturated fat or trans fat are solid at room temperature while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.

Much respect old chap - if you can drink that stuff, then you are a better man than I am...

I tried a glass once, the taste gave me nightmares. I don't care how fast it makes me - never again.

MTFU

I wouldn't care if it tasted like ostrich poo, if it made me go faster I'd drink it. BJ is quite nice, if you're struggling, cut it half and half with apple juice.

No seriously

I hate the taste so much, that even if drinking a glass might mean the difference between 1st or 2nd place in the TdF - I still wouldn't do it...

Only if you also add vodka.

That's one serious aversion

I too am diabetic, type 1 and pumping Apidra, I'm new to cycling but I have found the best juice to drink is full sugar Ribena and to my surprise my blood sugars stay stable during and after exercise and this works a treat!

Hahahah

I too dont buy into a lot of what he is saying, High Carbs isnt good for a Diabetic (Which I am) but the juice he drinks looks nice ( thought it might have been the same as sunny delight)

I do believe in some of what he says, vegan diet being better for you and the advice to stay away from oil and butter but then again people should know this already.

I take what he says with a pinch of salt.

I'm also diabetic and pumping Apidra, and I have found that full sugar Ribena keeps my blood sugars stable when training (I'm a noobie)

I have been drinking Copella and Ribena, loads of sugar but full of energy
