Fruit shoot, crisps, brown wrap sandwich, 9'ish mini chocolate biscuits2. Corn flake encrusted southern style chicken, chips, beans, coke, ketchup3. Wholemeal toast with Jam, Oatcakes with Jam (as recommended by Diabetes UK)The above cannot be classified as low carb, this is what I would call "normal" general public eating methodology.  Low carb would require less insulin to cover and I would say would not produce a blood sugar readings of 9.6 (even after a meal).Technically carbohydrates are not essential like fats and protein, as we can make glucose ourselves via the liver, and there are plenty in vegetable servings; Hala neglected to mention that "we" can function perfectly well off of Ketones.</blockquote>
