[QUOTE="becca59, post: 1818430, member: 264425"] I’m always told, run your diabetes in the way that is suitable for you, as you are the one living with it. At the end of the day kudos to all the Bernstein devotees, I have read his book and think his results are amazing. I am relatively low carb, and NEVER eat desserts/sweet stuff that have no nutritional benefits. However, I still feel that as a type 1 shooting insulin into my system there has to be some pleasures in life as regards eating. So I cannot give up fruit. Yes I eat lots of green veg and fish and meat. But I still believe fruit gives us more than just sugar, and why if we are low and want to nudge things up eat a dextrose/jelly baby instead of a chunk of banana with potassium in it as a benefit. I have a relative with a serious bowel problem, to get this under control the best thing is white rice, veg and grated apple. Because they are beneficial to the inflamed digestive system. Just because we are diabetics, we should not lose sight of the fact that there are many diseases out there that we need to protect ourselves from. The low carb restriction movement is in its infancy. I believe there are not enough long term results on this yet and these restrictions that we place on ourselves diet wise may come back to bite us on the b..! [/QUOTE]
