There have been a number of Scottish Parliementary questions and answers on the issue of diabetes
in recent weeks. Now before anyone gets too excited at the prospect of progress regarding dietary advice, take a look at a recent publication which some of the answers referenced.


:shock:

It looks to me as if things will have to get very much worse before they begin get any better.

Looks like you'll be giving up the deep fried Mars bars and still dying of cardiovascular disease.
 
Hi Fergus, lets face it we are a burden on the NHS resources, that sort of diet would be one way to reduce our numbers.

fergus - do you have a ref for the guidelines.

What you have posted is not really specific - are they male/female /kids/adults?
 
Horrendous!! the width of a standard doorway will have to be increased for those without Diabetes genes.
 
Hana - you have to look at the bigger picture and fergus has only posted part of it.

Actually getting people to eat proper food might be a start!
 
It's just more of the sugar isn't that good for you, starches are great for you and fat is bad for you rubbish.
 
I agree with Ally that eating real food woul be a start for some people, but for those, mainly older folks, who cook, that list is awful.
Also
Katharine or Sue may confirm, the eating of green leafy vegetables is not traditional in parts of Scotland.
Historically, the Scottish climates weren't good for growing most veggies. "Neaps and Tatties" was about it.
Climate has changed and so have the varieties of veggies.
 
I eat a lot of green things ,Hana! Up here Kale and cabbage grow quite well and the ubiquitous sprout.The rest I buy frozen .
