Message: <blockquote data-quote="IanD" data-source="post: 289597" data-attributes="member: 6186">Darren Marsh: Diabetes Specialist Dietician “Carbohydrate Awareness in Type 2 Diabetes” What is C? Where is C found? how does C affect diabetes? How much is required?Preferred source of energy, includes fibre & vitaminsusing the plate, we need 1/3 carbohydrateeach 85 g of carbohydrate raises blood gluc by 2 mmol (NB that needs clarifying)50 g carb suggested for each meal (NB that is ½ what the DUK diet provides) depends on individual needs, including activity, be careful with ready meals – read labels & don't eat extra  - e.g pizza has 40 cals per slice, so an extra 1 or 2 slices is excessive. He mentioned various diets to control blood glucose:VLCD – v low calorie – short term, needs supervisionmeal replacement liquid -  short term, needs supervisionLow carbohydrate – up to 130 g per daymediterranean diet exercise plus dietlow fatLow carbohydrate/high fat was nowhere suggested. He was unaware of the Swedish LCHF citations & their conclusions, even though they are cited in the DUK Position Statement.I asked if he though there would be any changes IN DUK's diet recommendations. NO!</blockquote>
