[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 496953, member: 40343"] Many of us have suggested that 130g starting point for a number of years. The bottom line is to recognise that it is just a starting point and depending on how screwed your pancreas is and / or how insulin resistant you are you may need to adjust that lower for a prolonged period. Whether or not you have to keep lower than 130g then largely depends how much beta cell function you have left after you have shifted insulin resistance and how much medication you want to take imo. In any event its nice to see "the establishment" is finally catching up with the thousands of posters on this forum over the years who despite having differences on the fat debate all recognise the importance of carbohydrate restriction. I just hope they take it that one stage further and not only introduce a low(er) carb option but also a self testing option so that people can educate themselves on how much they need to restrict. Personally I really don't care much about the fat debate as effectively that ends up as an individual choice. Total carbohydrate consumption and self testing are the real things that need evangelising. [/QUOTE]
