[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1272494, member: 21149"] Hi. First remember that diabetes is a condition that means the body can't metabolise glucose properly. If you have too many carbs your insulin needs go up and so may your weight if you have too many. Also your blood sugar swings will increase as your carb intake increases and hence hypo risks go up. Carb moderation is therefore important. Fats and proteins only have a small effect on blood sugar and fats are not the main culprit when it comes to cholesterol; carbs can be if taken to excess. Any advice to have high carbs is difficult to justify by any scientific thinking; challenge anyone who suggests it? The body is quite capable of deriving the energy we need just from proteins and fats without any carbs unless you have high exercise levels. The carbs for energy thing comes from the food manufacturers to sell more products. As someone else said, Eat to your meter and avoid weight gain and make your own choices. [/QUOTE]
