What ever happened to just eating right and exercising? This isn't rocket science.

Yeah, but nobody ever made any money by advocating such a simple idea.

You're right. There's no way the amount of sugar in the diet has any relevance when treating a disease of glucose intolerance. Why don't all of those silly diabetics try to treat themselves by following the food pyramid. WAIT! They have been!

As far as exercise goes, it does help to lower blood sugar, but it can only help so much. It cannot counteract the havoc that a high carb diet wreaks.

I think the question is, "what exactly constitutes 'eating right?'"

That's exactly the problem -- what does "just eating right" mean? Do you suppose there is one "correct" diet for everyone on the planet? I sure don't.

The problem is... how do you define "eating right"? What might be right for you, could in fact, be totally wrong for me.
