[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2373315, member: 517579"] I attended DICE (the local DESMOND equivalent) and had a diabetic nurse telling us to base meals around starchy carbs, and a dietitian telling us carbs were unnecessary and cutting them out was the key to managing blood glucose. In the same room, at the same time. The low-carb advice is not the newcomer, the "Eatwell Plate" is - if you look at ration books from WW2, T2 diabetics had extra proteins and fats to make up for the inability to handle carbohydrate. Most medical or nursing professionals will have trained maybe 15-20 years ago and their knowledge and experience is sometimes well out of date. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
