[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 293379, member: 21149"] Hi. Welcome to the wonderful NHS world of diabetes mis-information. Yes, as Grazer says part of it is playing it safe. You will find comments in some of the NICE journals that low-carbing has not been proven safe hence you should stay with the (unhealthy, dangerous etc etc) balanced diet which is gradually making the population obese. The NHS is like a large oil-tanker and takes years to change it's views. You will find this in many other areas of medicine. The food industry lurks in the background feeding mis-information whenever it can to keep the carbohydrate band-wagon going. Sadly many of us have found since diagnosis that it is essential to do your own research on diet, medication etc amongst the many other people with diabetes and find a solution that works for you. Many GPs, mine included, assume diabetes will progress and hence are only too ready to prescribe more medication. My GP said to maintain a healthy balanced diet which for a diabetic is wrong. As diabetics cannot process carbohydrates properly then they need a slightly 'unblanced' diet lower in carbs; obvious really :) [/QUOTE]
