[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2280527, member: 451727"] and I would say she is well out of date Glenn. Any cholesterol we get from food is negligible according to my own Consultant (and other sources), he says the modern thinking is that yes, some foods may add to your cholesterol level but if you cut them out then your body will make what is needed including any amount it may have got from an 'egg'. The egg theory was disbanded years ago. As for 'needing' an amount of carbs, again not true. I do eat carbs (around 100g) and I would miss them in the form of veg or slice of toast BUT I can survive without them as long as I adjust my insulin accordingly of course. The poster takes a glucose lowering drug so presumably is being told to eat more carbs to balance that out, to me that makes NO sense, 'You can't process carbs, so eat them and take this pill to counterbalance them'?, even for a type 1 on insulin we are told we adjust the insulin to the carbs we wish to eat (or not), not the other way round.
