Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 1732891" data-attributes="member: 355878">It seems as though your nurse knows very little about diabetes too.My underactive - as in defunct - thyroid is replaced by tablets of thyroxine, and has been for years - if you are suffering by having low hormone levels you really should be on replacement therapy - my thyroid staggered along for some years before it gave out but they were not pleasant years.To get my numbers into the normal range after being diagnosed diabetic type 2 I had to drop my intake of carbs to a maximum of 50 gm per day. Eating 150 gm would have made no improvement at all.Blueberries are the highest carb of the berries, and blueberries in porridge is far higher in carbs than just counting the sugar - and as for milk - lactose is a sugar, best have cream in your coffee and forget the milk entirely.I know it is contrary to all the really good advice from HCPs ( that was in my really sarcastic tone) but eating low carb and higher than normal fats is proving to be very effective in controlling diabetes for many type twos, and also in reducing weight for a lot of people.</blockquote>
