[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2158524, member: 506169"] You may be correct about being unable to blame the Eatwell Plate in their cases, but consider this: The wife is a Nurse - so she has almost certainly been told the following: 1. Medicine works i.e. it either cures patients, or it relieves their symptoms. 2. T2D is progressive and in-curable. 3. It is inadvisable to do any testing of your BG unless you are on Glic or Insulin. Plus she must be extremely familiar with both the Eatwell plate and the 5 a day campaign. However perhaps she has actually tried those out found out that they don't help and so just given up. Doesn't it actually make sense to give up under such circumstances? Kipling's famous poem talks about accepting the things that you cannot change - well if so then if the 'best advice' makes things worse, who wouldn't give up and take comfort in whatever little pleasure available. - Even if it is chocolate!
