[QUOTE="Pollylocks, post: 516319, member: 46639"] ........about all the conflicting advice we get...??? I was diagnosed as Type 2 fifteen years ago and only told not to eat sweet food.... other carbs such as potatoes, pasta, bread etc. were recommended so I stopped the sweet stuff.....my blood sugar improved somewhat but not too much and it was only by trial and error by testing that I discovered that these starchy carbs were as bad, if not worse for me....I thought that it must be individual to me and my metabolism so basically I stopped seeing my DN as I thought I couldn't be treated individually, so I just went for my annual tests.. After many letters from her, I went to see her last year, mentioned potatoes shooting up my bs which she seemed surprised at [have mentioned this in another thread so won't bang on about it in here!] ........bbbut after reading many of the posts in here I am sooo disillusioned that the medical profession are not up-to-date with what's going on with us, I'm not unusual at all, its common to most of us that these starchy carbs affect our bs.... I'm soo pleased I found this forum, the support, help and views are great, I feel I am with people who know what I'm talking about.... Sorry for the long post and bit of a rant, I worry about others diagnosed as long ago as myself, and ones who are newly diagnosed and still getting the same advice as I received... [/QUOTE]
