[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 946956, member: 30007"] There's a lot of disinformation around this. It all stems from a statement that the brain needs a certain amount of carbs per day to function. If you delve into the research, this turns out to be around 30g per day. This can be more than handled by the body converting protein to glucose. Unfortunately, the various chinese whispers and reprints that have developed have taken this up to something like 140g per day, which just isn't true. Fundamentally, you don't need much in the way of carbs at all. There are a couple of people on the forum ([USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] and [USER=85785]@nosher8355[/USER]) who live in a permanent state of eating next to no carbs and they have been doing for a long time, very successfully. They may be able to tell you more about nuts and berries. I'm T1, not T2, but I see that Nuts and Berries have limited impact on my bg levels if eaten in moderation. The only way you can really tell is to test and test again. The school of thought that is gaining ground (even amongst professionals in the field in the UK) is that the best way to treat type 2 diabetes is eating a very low carb diet, higher fat diet. There has also been discussion on the forum of ways to treat Neuropathy, and the inclusion of Benfotiamine and Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements are supposed to be beneficial. [/QUOTE]
