This is the current NHS guidance, and is totally out of date and wrong for T2 diabetics. It is the same diet they recommend for the general population. If this happens, just nod and ignore. The reason being all carbs, including wholemeal, convert to glucose once inside the body, and as too much glucose is our problem, it makes good sense not to eat it! You may be lucky and find your nurse is one of the few enlightened ones. I do hope so.You may also be told not to self test. Most of us are. Again, nod and ignore. Self testing is the most important part of self management. Without it we are working blind.</blockquote>
