[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 731968, member: 19121"] I think you have misinterpreted the post that talked about 130grams Robert, your brain requires 120/130 grams of [B]glucose[/B] a day not carbs but most people believe it is better to get that glucose mainly from carbs as the human body has involved to look to carbs first as a source of glucose. I was given roughly the advice outlined in this book (according to those who have posted its content) from my DSN and dietitian at diagnoses 6 years ago so its hardly new or ground breaking its just that still some people in the NHS are not as up to date with current thinking as perhaps they should be. When I was using insulin and met an NHS dietitian I was eating roughly 60g carbs a day and after reading my food diary that I had to fill out for her she told that my diet was fine although she suggested I ate a little more oily fish but as I dont actually like oily fish that never happened, but other than that she was happy with my nutritional intake. Since loosing weight (56lb) I lost a lot of my insulin resistance and now eat considerably more carbs than then, a lot less than 260 g a day I would guess but also a lot more than the 60g or so I was eating on my diet.
