Hi
I too had been advised to eat Carbs and one of the main culprits I found was my daily breakfast porridge which, after I had managed to lower my levels, caused large spikes that lasted for hours! Now I am very careful about the Carb intake I have and what a difference in just 1 month. Not only have I lost 10lb but my BG levels are averaging around 5.5 and sometimes I am even below 5.
My clinic suggests (and I quote) "Why not try reduced sugar desserts e.g. sugar free jelly or Angel Delight.". Have you seen the list of chemicals in Angel Delight and it is 60% carb. They also say on their website "Bread, other cereals and potatoes - Eat all types and buy high fibre kinds whenever you can, e.g. wholemeal, brown rice and pasta." All of these have now been cut and I couldn't be happier.
I do understand how people react when faced with advice from professionals, but I think it's time to start questioning this advice and taking more control ourselves of what we eat. When they say "evidence shows that..." ask to see this evidence.
It feels as if a revolution is about to take place.
