I've always wondered why diabetics weren't put on a very low carb diet.

When I first learned I was diabetic, my company paid for me to go to training for diet and exercise education. We were instructed to be very aware of carbs, how to limit them, and which carbs (complex, fiber) were better for us. That training wasn't specific to me, but a general course taught at the local hospital for anyone with diabetes. Anyone truly diabetic and not watching the carbs is in for a painful lesson eventually.

Thanks for the info - in years past I would see diets for diabetics that had corn and white bread and lots of fruit. Seemed odd to me but I’m glad they have changed their instructions
