[QUOTE="vintageutopia, post: 866829, member: 167332"] The U.S. is not on par with Sweden and Denmark. Trust me. When newly diagnosed in late November, I was scheduled to meet with a Diabetic Nurse Specialist. This is where it was recommended that I eat 15-30 grams for breakfast, 15-30 snacks, 45-60 for lunch and dinner, then 15-30 again for bedtime. I knew the discussion, because I had administered the same information to new and existing diabetics that were hospitalized for surgery. Now, with my diagnosis, it became personal and It didn't make sense. I didn't want to medicate for something that I could control by my food choices. And then...I found this website and all of you. THAT made sense. I could have followed the advice of my DNP, but it would have required me to take insulin or injections to manage my blood sugar. I wasn't willing to do that if there was a better way. I am 43 years old and have three kids 10 years of age and under. I need to be healthy for them. I want my husband to grow old with me, not take care of me. I have a chance to make that happen. I've went rogue! ;) [/QUOTE]
