[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2104030, member: 345386"] [USER=511442]@Waterlady[/USER] - I think the question of target carbohydrate consumption levels are a bit personal really. There are some on here who feel they need tpo be pretty binary, in terms of what they do and do not have, and others who have used a system of incrementally cutting down on carbs, but obviously taking action on the biggies (like full sugar drinks, sweet snacks- cakes etc.). I think you and he need two things: - Firstly clarification of his diabetes type. That's very helpful in your poanning - Secondly, to have a gloves off discussion between you about what is sustainable. There's no point going the whole ninja carb cutting, only to find you burn out and are back to sqwuare one, when a more steady appraoch might have been best. Please don't think I'm saying none of this matters. It really does. However, when it comes to change, we need to be ready for it, and we need to buy into it. Just because someone else bought into their approach doesn't necessarily mean it's right for another person. [/QUOTE]
