[QUOTE="Nicksu, post: 1353812, member: 325281"] At the end of the day your liver can turn any food source into energy - doesn't matter whether its carbs, fat or protein. Just depends on whether you want diabetes to rule your life or you to rule it! And I have to agree the docs often don't like an informed patient (the old doctor is god complex unfortunately still exists for some!). I do try to keep carbs to a minimum I have to say - I have a maximum of 6 wholemeal buns in a week and only a very few potatoes on a weekend. Its done me no harm doing without (and I have largely lost my sweet tooth because of it - which is a definite plus). And I still have some chocolates left out of the small box I got at Christmas - prior to having diabetes I would have had the lot in about 2 to 3 days. [/QUOTE]
