[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1191179, member: 41816"] Done. Just a word of information, [USER=212730]@kyzie1992[/USER] MANY of us have been warned off eating foods labelled as 'Diabetic Food' by our healthcare teams. And MANY diabetics follow the Eatwell Plate (on the advice of their healthcare teams). So you may find a lot of suspicion if you start promoting Low Carb as Diabetic Friendly (because of the prevaling low fat high carb advice), and because Diabetic food is often stuffed with polyols, artificial nonsense and suchlike... Tricky situation, eh? In your place I think I might go with promoting the 'homecooked', 'wholesome'. 'no artificial' side of things. And offer carb content figures while promoting the healthy fat content too. You may get enthusiastic takeup from non diabetics, plus interest from diabetics who are aware of the new evidence on fats and carbs... Although, of course, I don't actually know what sort of food you intend to produce. :) I suppose I am wondering if you aim your food exclusively at the T1 market, you may not get enough trade, so it has to have a broader appeal. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
