Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

As you may have gathered from this forum we fight a battle with the shockingly bad nutritional information provided by most government and professional bodies. It's often bad for non-diabetics as well as diabetics. I speak as a Late onset T1 but spent many years on tablets being treated as a T2. So, if you want to provide nutritional info for diabetics you will need to start from scratch and not just follow the traditional and bad diet mantra. Those of us who use meters know that the carbs increase blood sugar whereas fats and proteins have a much smaller effect. This to me is scientific proof that carbs are the problem for us and not fats and salt. This applies to both blood sugar and weight. Those of us on insulin Basal/Bolus equally know that the Bolus is increased to match the carbs with a small correction for proteins and fats. Our meters again prove that the carbs need to be the focus. I think you get the point and if you can provide scientifically valid dietary information together with other Health & Wellness info you will be on the right track.</p></blockquote><p></p>
