[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 496934, member: 40343"] I think you're making it far more complicated than it needs to be and in reality no regime will meet all requirements. No one much disagrees that cutting down on your carbohydrate intake i.e. avoiding sugar, and limiting starchy foods such as rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, cereals and other flour based things is a good thing for diabetics to try as that will help stabilise your blood sugars. How much you need to cut out is very much down to the individual and should be driven by your 2 hour post prandial readings. No one will be able to tell you precisely how much as that's the individuals responsibility to find out. As to the measurements used on this site then the vast majority of posters are from the United Kingdom and hence BG's measured in mmols will naturally predominate. Confusing the majority by adding yet another set of BG figures would not be a good thing imo. If you want to translate between mmol's and dl measures for BG's (or Farenheit and Centrigrade) then there are ample conversion sites you can refer to on Google [/QUOTE]
