[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1697943, member: 94045"] Most of us are told this. The NHS guidelines recommend we eat carbs with every meal, and plenty of starchy ones. This known as The Eatwell Plate, and is completely unsuitable for diabetics. If all carbs convert to sugar in the system, why on earth should we be eating them? It is wrong advice, but the tide is turning as more and more GPs and experts are advocating low carb. Perhaps give it a try for a couple of weeks? I bet you are surprised at how much less insulin you need, but you must test regularly. [/QUOTE]
