[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 122986, member: 8110"] This isn't how I see it >>Re diet-normal diet-same for a non-diabetic as diabetic [color=#FF4040]ie low in fat [/color]and low in sugar/salt. Eat plenty of fruit and veg ie 5 portions/day. << I don't think fat has any effect on diabetes control. Diabetes is characterised by an inability to handle carbohydrates. i.e. Sugars and starches. The most recent research has failed to find a connection between fat in the diet and any heart disease. Fat is neutral in diabettes. It doesn't raise blood sugar nor does it lower it. Many people have found that a diet with plentty of fats, but low in carbohydrates brings about weight loss and lowered cholesterol. Fat has been demonised without evidence. In fact a certain amount of fat is ssential to health. skin needs fat, nerve sheathes are made of ats and vitamins are carried in fats. Starchy carbs on the other hand don't reduce weight and do increase blood sugar. Yet the Medica authorities still tell everyone to eat them up to 60% of calorie intake. I say we need to reduce our total food intake andreduce starch to the absolute minimum. that is despite the fact that bread is delicious. Hana [/QUOTE]
