[QUOTE="CHIET1, post: 1459477, member: 368096"] Yep it's a mine field the lot of it! Frustrating as hell, different opinions every where on diet, diabetes, cholesterol! We have to try to inform ourselves and find doctors we trust who are not closed minded. It's not easy, but when it comes to food, no one can argue against real foods that have existed for centuries like fresh meat, fish , eggs etc... I think also plant foods and of course preparing these foods ourselves! Anything else is just fake food! On Cholesterol I agree with the OP from what I have read also, but I don't agree on the blood sugars. I do believe there is a normal range and that's <5 mmol/l. I have trust in Dr. Bernstein and often talks about how he came up with the correct bs target of 4.5mmol/l through testing on non diabetics. Apparently the non diabetic numbers always showed up in the 4.5mmol/ range. Also I have seen HbA1C results of family members who are non diabetic and they are in the 4's. Also, if my own bs is not between 4-5.5 I can feel a difference so I do believe that all diabetics should strive for numbers close to non diabetics for a better day to day life and to avoid long term complications. That's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
