[QUOTE="canuck1950, post: 199800, member: 33787"] Viv - your definitions are sensible. I would add that for type 2 diabetics, less than 50 g of carbs per day should be the maximum. For some, even lower would be better. The alternative is to take medications. Also, that achieving HbA1c's in the 5 range should be the target, not the 7.0% advocated by the authorities. I believe they move the goal posts because the recommended diet makes it very hard to actually achieve normal levels. As many will know, achieving 5's on no meds is entirely achievable on a very low carb diet. [/QUOTE]
