[QUOTE="ixi1429, post: 1702801, member: 465579"] [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] True and I will admit to having a Fruit addiction before diagnosis. If you include berries I was on 6-7 pieces a day which may have contirbuted to my condition. I was told that a low carb diet for the non special people (non diabetic) is 130g so a moderate on could be 150-200g per day, whereas most of us are on less than 100. I am not in favour of the nanny state but I do expect any expert to be just that - a knowledge fount. With my initial diagnosis, I was just a little surprised that they don't give me more precise advice like avoiding banana's, looking at a low carb diet etc. It took a NHS funded course (and this website) to open my eyes. I have seen 2 differnt DN's over the last 8 months, one was supportive of the whole LCHF approach to diet,the other....wasn't but as I told my wife (and she agrees) the HBA1C results are the proof, as is the weight loss, reduced chloreserol, reduced triglycerides etc. I still eat berries, avoiding or eating small amounts of the higher carb ones i.e. blue berries but even then I include them for variety.
