[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 497353, member: 40343"] The key is to realise it is just a starting point. Telling many newly diagnosed people to go cold turkey onto a sub 50g vlc regime is both unrealistic and of course people are naturally suspicious of giving up foods they've been told to believe are ok for diabetics. I was "taught" by the probably the most vociferous very low carb advocate this forum ever had (a T2 85% fat intake half marathon runner) yet he also advocated that 130g as a staring point to newly diagnosed people. I don't for one moment dispute that you may need to do a vlc diet to maintain your BG's but for many it can be a perfectly valid lifestyle choice not a necessity. The amount of carbs required to "eat to your meter" varies considerably person to person anything from sub 30g to around 200g a day in my experience. It is eating to your meter that counts not the diet you choose to follow that really matters imo [/QUOTE]
