[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1600247, member: 438800"] You're not diabetic. In my opinion, unless you have a reason to believe you are at risk of developing the disease, all you need to do is eat a balanced diet in terms of the major food groups -- and keep the portions reasonable. About the only cautionary note I would sound is that, if you do decide to reduce the amount of fat in your diet (which has been the conventional medical advice for many decades now) do make sure that you don't compensate by over-eating carbohydrates. The body needs energy, so if you reduce the fat, the missing energy has to come from somewhere. I think that is what happened to me (over-compensation by adding carbs), and it may partially explain why I developed diabetes. See my signature below for details. [/QUOTE]
