[QUOTE="JayCee6828, post: 557560, member: 87995"] Thanks guys, I take aboard all your comments and will carry on recording as long as I can, I only managed the last week as I have been saving some strips each month and built up a reserve. Below is an excerpt from the Diabetes type 2 information booklet issued by the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital trust as it seems to fly in the face of some of what you say - why are we being given this advice if it is not correct; in my mind I am having an argument with myself, the people on here have years of experience but aren't the hospital people in the diabetic clinic supposed to be professionals? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Under the heading 'Getting a balanced diet' it is listed under two headings - 'Food Groups' and 'How many servings a day' One of the Food Groups is 'Starchy foods such as bread, cereals, rice, pasta and potatoes' and it lists: 6-8 tbsp cereal or 4 tbsp muesli 2 slices of bread 4 tbsp cooked rice, pasta, cous-cous, noodles or mashed potato 4 egg sized potatoes It then says 3-4 servings a day and a note says remember to include a starchy food at each meal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can you comment on this noting of course that every diagnosed t2 diabetic in Norfolk is issued with this booklet. Please don't think I am trying to ignore or run down your helpful advice I am just trying to get it straight in my head and I will say that I value he advice of people with many, many years of experience over what a non diabetic dietician may be saying.
