[QUOTE="IanD, post: 997444, member: 6186"] Yes - fats are good as they provide energy without metabolising to blood sugar - which all carbohydrates do. BUT - use good clean fresh fats - not what you buy in pastries & chip shops, nor in the margarine tubs. Olive oil, nuts, butter, avocados, lard, fat that comes with meat .... On diagnosis 15 years ago I was advised to eat the low GI diet - but any inclusion of carbs -including the "good healthy" wholegrain carbs takes it to medium GI, & I was getting 1/2 my calories from carbs. It took 8 years for my condition to progress to crippling diabetic neuropathy. 7 1/2 years ago I changed to low carb with increased fat, & my condition rapidly improved. I now have NO diabetes problems/symptoms. I'm still active in sport. About 10% of my energy comes from carbs, the rest from fats & proteins. I'm 76. [/QUOTE]
