[QUOTE="fergus, post: 101879, member: 6150"] :shock: I'm afraid this is the sort of nonsense that often seems to masquerade as medical advice. No-one, especially a diabetic, needs to eat lots of carbs for any reason. Particularly if those carbs are from refined or starchy sources when they offer nothing of value, merely a big rise in blood glucose. If you [i]are[/i] having to eat lots of carbs to counteract the insulin, you are taking too much insulin! As far as your long term health is concerned, the consequence of too much insulin comes a pretty close second to too much blood sugar. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
