It seems to me that all the diabetes official groups are still pushing carbohydrate as a good thing for diabetics! Please can we get someone on our side to keep our blood sugar normal. How much carbohydrate is ACTUALLY needed?

Hi guys I bought a food journal to record everything in but it has like an opening introduction from the author and she has said to minus the amount of fibre from the total carbs of your meal when carb counting, does anyone do this? My nurse has never mentioned this and just wondered if it is a...

From doing a lot of research I’ve read that lentils, beans and pulses are better carbs as it has high fibre which doesn’t spike blood sugars, I saw at work we do a red lentil fussili, all it contains is red lentils and water and has 19g protein per portion, 44g carbs, 0.9g fat... Is this a much...

I guess this question is for those who have controlled bg or as some would say ‘reversed’ or ‘in remission’ For those who lost quite a bit of weight through diet and exercise did you insulin sensitivity increase? Are you able to eat more carbohydrates than before? I know everyone with...

Well my sister and mum were going to Tesco (not a Tesco Express this is a HUGE Tescos in Streatham, London) to grab some food for lunch (sandwiches etc for them) and asked if I wanted a salad or something.. I said I think you will find it difficult to find anything pre-prepared that is low carb...

If diabetes is one of the biggest and growing problems why are carbs not already displayed on the front of packaging? Only displaying 'Sugars' is misleading as that is all the media talks about. ALL carbohydrate (ok except that from fibre but that has already been deducted from the carb value...
