[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2127488, member: 506169"] Actually what constitutes a 'Low Carb' diet varies hugely, as I believe that it should. [B]I encourage every Diabetic to 'eat to their Blood Glucose meter', only by having a meter and using it can they actually see the effect of each individual meal. [/B]This is different , even considerably so, for different people. My meter tells me that I can't handle root veg like Carrot, Turnip, Swede, Beetroot. Legumes (for me) have to be strictly limited, so that means that I am eating at the lower end of the 'Low Carb' spectrum - generally between 20gms and 50gms of carbs per day. But this is not the case for several others who don't get spiked Blood Glucose from eating those. So you will see that 'Low Carb' in some of the medical studies done could mean as high as 120gms of carbs per day. In some of the studies done deliberately to try to 'debunk' Low Carb they even use values of up to 200gms or more. [/QUOTE]
