[QUOTE="johnoswaldallan, post: 3274, member: 1518"] The worst days work I ever did was to listen to dieticians and other “healthcare professionals” Many years ago I was told that the new thinking was that as long as I stuck with the “good” carbohydrates (long acting) I could eat what I wanted. It was also suggested that I should drastically limit my fat intake, especially animal fat and substitute butter for a low fat spread (which turns out can be quite harmful because many of them use hydrogenated oil) avoid eating eggs and dairy produce be careful of eating meat with any sign of fat and of course to limit my salt intake. In other words most of the good wholesome foods that many of us where brought up on were now off the menu. It took me a long time to realise that carbohydrate was my worst enemy. The diet that I am on now will no doubt make the low fat merchants cringe. I have good helpings of meat and eat all the fat; I don’t cut the skin off chicken. I eat loads of eggs and use dairy produce. I eat plenty of vegetables but avoid those with carbohydrate content and do you know what for the first time that I can remember I don’t feel constantly hungry. My blood sugars are now practically normal (5-6 mmol/l) although I do have to watch the odd hypo and believe it or not I have lost a couple of pounds in weight. I have considerably reduced my insulin. I now intend to cut out yet more carbohydrates from my diet and continue to reduce my insulin. As far as the hypos are concerned I now realise I don’t need to increase my intake of carbohydrate. I need to reduce my insulin. I am now 67 years old and for the first time in many years I am at long last learning to control my diabetes. I eat good natural foods and avoid all low fat products like the plague Regards John JOA [/QUOTE]
