[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1639016, member: 41816"] Pushing the newly diagnosed into hardcore low carbing is IMO usually a total waste of time. Once people have their own meter, they can find their own level - and that often gently drifts downwards as they learn more and more about their own bodies and their own reactions to carbs. I have seen quite a few new forum members driven off by excessively severe low carb advice. For many, the shock of diagnosis is bad enough. Being told to get rid of bread as well can be just too much. Especially when their meter can easily inform them, after systematic testing, what they can tolerate or not. What works for [B][I]them[/I][/B]. I love low carbing, but it took a long time for me to adjust. If someone had stormed in announcing that I had to go from a normally carby diet to severe restriction, then I would have dismissed them as extreme and very off putting. Yet, here I am, some time later, having learned what works for me, and that happens to be very low carb. [/QUOTE]
