[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2293751, member: 245335"] Welcome to the forum, the nurse would have done better to say eat less carbs. It converts to sugar in the body so it can be looked as being exactly the same as sugar. Most type IIs (include pre-diabetic) are insulin resistant and unfortunately eating the stuff you want to eat which is usually the carby stuff, isn't going to help. I look at it the same way as an allergy, technically it isn't but . . . . . I love cheese, but if I was lactose intolerant I wouldn't probably couldn't eat it. I love Brazil nuts, not much good if I had a nut allergy. Same goes for gluten. Carbs are the same for me, my body doesn't deal with them very well. The only carb I have problems with is bread, but I know my body doesn't deal with bread very well, I'm insulin resistant and the bread just converts to sugar, ends up in my blood and then the damage starts, eyes being the one I worry about most. The only good news about bread is that there are low carb alternatives, not exactly convenient in that I can't go to my Tesco and buy it, but other supermarkets do and there is also the home baked bread you could make. Your father won't be the first person who doesn't want to join this forum, at least you're around to help by having another view of diabetes. This forum is a very good source of information. [/QUOTE]
