Hi
Whilst watching Call the Midwives yesterday, they showed the nurses visiting a guy who was diabetic. When they tested his urine and found it was high in sugar, they told him to stay off the pies, potatoes, beer etc...so it made me think...when did the NHS change its nutritional advice.
Call the Midwives is based in the late 1950's and it seems that a reduction of carbohydrates was being advised, versus the ' you must have carbs with every meal' advise you get nowadays.
i just thought it was curious.....
take care
