I'm an engineer/scientist by profession so have always taken an investigative approach looking for the science where I can for diet. My findings are that carbs are not good for us as diabetics unless kept reasonably down as they are converted to glucose. Your meter or GGM is a guide into what quantity works for you. Proteins are generally good and you find little negative comment on the web. Fats are a different story with a lot of the 'fats are bad' mantra based on now discredited research. Also if you dig down to understand how fats are handled by the body there is little to point to them being directly a problem with regard to cholesterol deposits etc whereas the glucose the carbs are converted to are readily stored by the liver as fat. The anti-dairy thing appears to have no factual support so I treat dairy as a good food. In the end you have to make your own mind up but the NHS and various other organisations tend to be many years behind current research and suffer a lot from Groupthink.</p></blockquote><p></p>
