[QUOTE="Totto, post: 964469, member: 91524"] We have all been told to eat carbs. Very few type 2 diabetics here follow the advice. It's easy for non-diabetics to say eat carbs, it's not their BG that shoots up. It's not their eyes, kidneys or feet that pack up. I come from a family of diabetics and I am so very happy to have access to a BG meter. My dad lived in terrible pain and was threatened with amputations just before he passed away at the age of 72. He lived twenty-two years after his diagnosis and had several heart attacks and strokes in the last years of his life and lost most of his kidney function too, all caused by his high BG. But mostly I remember him being in pain. I keep my BG normal, that is non-diabetic readings, by not eating sugary or starchy stuff. I mean to hang on to my limbs and eyes, kidneys and so on. If you follow your doctors advice about carbs you may be heading for a lot of problems. [/QUOTE]
