[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1924485, member: 41816"] What is tragic is that a Doctor wrote it, and people all over will read it and think ‘yum! I am being told to eat all those sweet starch carby things...’ Lumping generalised advice without specific detail for different diabetic types is negligent. And telling type 2s that if they are on certain meds they must snack or risk hypos... er... NO! Adjust the dose downwards [B][I]before[/I][/B] telling them to stuff carbs. Apart from anything else, when did a teacake + banana + maple syrup become a snack?!? That is bigger than a breakfast for me. And when I was drinking smoothies (mainly veg, minimal fruit) they were meals in themselves. 200mls was a work lunch. Then 100g of dry noodles + veg + ham is a main course. [/QUOTE]
