With all of us eating more processed foods than we ever did and the amount of hidden sugars that are in them is it any wonder diabetes is on the increase? True there are some slim Type 2's but I think the majority are not and does it matter? Eating too much sugar can not be good for health reasons. We do not need all the extra sugar added because there is enough naturally in foods.<br /><br />This comment should appear on both, so apologies if you are reading it twice - you are.<br /><br />JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-48530089715817826372013-03-01T00:34:17.454+00:002013-03-01T00:34:17.454+00:00Actually, I am a proud member of LoCarb Hezbollah ...Actually, I am a proud member of LoCarb Hezbollah , and the post was a parody.

Here is their actual diet advice for a person with diabetes.<br />"Carbs: Cut Portion Size <br /><br /><br />You don’t need to cut all carbs -- such as breads, pasta, potatoes, and rice. Take a look at how much you’re eating. To keep your energy steady, you probably just need to eat a little less. Instead of your usual serving size, try having two-thirds the amount. Do this for every meal and snack.<br /><br />Try cutting back your carb portions for a few weeks. You may notice that your blood sugar levels are lower, and you may even drop a few pounds.<br /><br />Remember, this is advice from a doctor, not some nut on the Interwebs...<br />TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094648142665862679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-58322396860251050862013-02-28T09:14:21.568+00:002013-02-28T09:14:21.568+00:00Another recommended read and very current
