[QUOTE="Bellx15, post: 326853, member: 26391"] OK - here is the full quote: page 208. "[b] Diabetic Diet[/b] Patients with type 1 diabetes ([i]but in the following chapter of type 2 it refers back to this advice[/i]) require active dietary management to help achieve good glycaemic control. Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of vascular disease, and therefore it is important to encourage patterns of healthy eating. Ideally, 60% of total caloric intake should be provided by carbohydrates, with no more than 30% coming from fat. .... Eating of complex carbohydrates such as bread, potatoes, pasta and rice in moderate amounts with each meal should be encouraged. Complex and lower glycaemic index carbohydrates cause a slower rise in blood glucose concentration than simple sugars because of their slower rate of absorption." As I mentioned earlier, there are several completely unfounded assumptions in here: 1. Fat consumption creates an elevated risk of vascular disease. No evidence for this. 2. Complex carbohydrates are processed slowly, rendering BG levels manageable. Nope. 3. Carbohydrate consumption creates less risk of vascular disease. Nope. My Ukrainian wife told me how her grandmother used to say about their pig rearing: "We spend all our lives fattening pigs, and we don't do it by feeding them fat. They get potatoes and bread."
