Hence it's called Dose Adjustment For Normal EatingThe point I make is that we should maintain a normal diet. Normal should NOT mean filling ourselves up with cake and sugar etc. I have a friend in the profession and she is a strong advocate of a healthy BALANCED diet. There's no way she'd tell a diabetic it's ok to eat cake all the time, but if it's your birthday or another special occasion. We don't have to make our lives even more miserable. Many people do sustain a normal diet using DAFNE and control they BG very well. I don't think telling everyone they have to low carb would work. I certainly will not reduce carbs until such a time as I cannot control my diabetes any other way. I've had diabetes almost a year. I've not had any weight gain except for the few pounds I had to gain in order to be a healthy weight. Diabetics aren't a once size fits all breed!Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com</blockquote>
