[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 1008989, member: 29023"] Unfortunately, this kind of "advice" is why so many people have progressive diabetes. Their blood sugars are constantly high due to the amounts of carbohydrate suggested, they don't realise as they only have the HbA1c ( the check up blood test) every 6 months or even less, and they find themselves on increasing amounts of medication. Carbohydrate is sugar, this is what it turns to in the bloodstream. The reason so many on this forum have good diabetic control is that they significantly lower their carb intake, they also self monitor tbeir own blood glucose levels. With an advised level of 260gm of carb daily, I will almost guarantee that the diabetic control will be poor, and that associated complications will occur. Nobody needs to take advice from people on an Internet forum, it is a matter of free choice. I feel the easiest way to approach this is to get a cheap meter and self test. The proof is in the pudding so to speak. And lowering carbs by varying degrees, is why so many of us are able to obtain levels that are either close to, or in non diabetic range. The choice is yours. I do think the remark about newbies is unnecessarily harsh. We've all been there at one point - encouragement is better than condescension. [/QUOTE]
