Message: <blockquote data-quote="phoenix" data-source="post: 36640" data-attributes="member: 12578">I'm not defending the letter, which to be honest sounds like a standard one, though I can understand why it anoyed you .I  think that the book is a different matter. It would  be a bit pointless to have a carb counting book and then include meats with a carb count of 0. On the other hand there may be times when it is useful to know the carb count of a sausage roll  or a slice of steak and kidney pie. The book needs to be fairly comprehensive in order to be useful to everyone.    Recently I went to a friends for diner, steak and kidney  pie  acompanied by mash and a few  veg was the main course . I wouldn't normally choose  this meal  myself but I was able to dose for it. There are a few things that I would say no to, your line would probaly be different to mine but being able to be flexible is what dose adjustment is about. Done carefully  you can have  very  good glucose control.   How you use  the  information given , both from the carb book and the dietitician (  remember she has her entrenched  belief system,  just as you do) is up to you.</blockquote>
