You will find that the most contentious,argumentative post on this forum are about diet!!!Why is that? well because we are all different and what works so well for one does not always work for another.The trouble is some cannot see that etcetcectc!!!
You have to experiment and see for yourself what works.What is common to all diabetics is the need to reduce carb intake.How much you need to reduce depends on your control of your blood sugar levels.

So long as you have a meter you can discover exactly what YOU can and can't eat. This will often differ significantly from what your dietician, doctor or nurse tells you to eat, which is one reason they will probably deny you the meter or test strips <sigh>
