[QUOTE="kesun, post: 478899, member: 39776"] I was put on the carbohydrate exchange diet. Has anyone else tried this? It was full of weird "exchanges", such as X number of chocolate digestives can be exchanged for a medium bowl of rice, and I had to eat a certain number of carbohydrate units every day. I was difficult to do and very effective at raising my blood sugar, which they addressed by raising my insulin dose. I was also told to go low fat and cut out salt. I'm inclined to think bad advice is worse than no advice. Or maybe not: at least they made me aware that diet was an issue for diabetics. Kate [/QUOTE]
