[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 353612, member: 21149"] Hi. In general most of us would say that carbs do increase blood sugar so need to be tightly controlled. Those diagnosed with Type 2 and who are overweight are often overweight due to having had excess carb intake i.e. they lose weight when they go onto a low-carb diet, DUK does have some strange views on the right diet for Type 2s and it has been the subject of some argument in the media. The same mantra comes from the NHS and many dieticians. First 'starchy' has no real meaning for diabetics. Starchy carbs can be OK before cooking or processing but can become very high-GI following cooking and starch breakdown. NICE has now, sensibly, started to use the term low-GI carb which is the right approach. So, in summary many starchy carbs such as white bread, pasta, rice and so on can be bad for us unless kept low-GI and with low-ish portion sizes. [/QUOTE]
