Yeah,when I was newly diagnosed i had a look at it but it just mimicked "Nurse Deaths" dietary advice that was making my levels increase so i never went back to that site after that.Defren said:Paul1976 said:9 tablespoons of cereal? :shock: :shock: I didn't have that much even when I was non diabetic.

Tony the tiger may be, the DUK diet advice certainly is not!!

I personally do eat carbs... but not all carbs agree with me. I fair better with grain carbs than I do with vegetable carbs. I'm in real danger of super BGL swings on vegetable carbs. Although I still eat small amounts at times.
It's all trial and error. I did low carbing at one point and increased my meats, etc.... only to have my cholesterol LDL go through the roof. I quickly changed my diet back to reduced fat.
I think at the end of the day it's about balance... and everyone is different.

Exactly, and (no disrespect to ANY insulin user) but there is a big difference between what an insulin user can eat, and an diet only or medication/diet only can tolerate. However, the advice given is a one size fits all, which I believe is very wrong!
