[QUOTE="fergus, post: 100327, member: 6150"] Jen, the consensus is clearly that protein [i]does[/i] create blood glucose. I'm type 1 and insulin user. I woke up with a bg of 4.6mmol/l this morning, I injected 3 units of Humalog before my breakfast of 2 eggs scrambled with cream and cheese, 2 rashers of bacon and 4 chestnut mushrooms. Effectively a zero carb breakfast and experience tells me my bg will be between 4.5 and 5 when I next test before lunch. I have children myself and I know how they are drawn to carbohydrate foods, for all sorts of reasons. Having said that, if an adult like me can do well on a breakfast without carbs, there's no reason a child couldn't do it either if they chose to. It certainly wouldn't be in any sense! I don't understand why anyone would be fearful of it, it's not as if anyone or any Health Professional I know has ever been [i]forced[/i] to adopt a low carb diet. If anything, the opposite is probably true. The important thing, in my view, is that more people become aware of the options and can freely make their own, informed choices with out fear or suspicion. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
