[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 177664, member: 16982"] I think the answer to your question is - because most people do not have a problem with eating carbohydrates. The average person with a funcitoning pancreas will simply metabolise them as nature intended and therefore there is no incentive on the restaurant to offer these kind of choices. Diabetes whilst a common illness is not that common, the vast majority of people don't have it. I went for a meal yesterday with some friends, not massively high carb but there was some rice and bread in there, which I injected for. One hour later I was 9.1 and I tested my non diabetic friend (he was interested in my testing kit!) and he'd stuffed his face with whatever he wanted plus drunk loads of beer and he was only at 5.3. Hit home how unfair it all is really, but then that's life... [/QUOTE]
