Kind of angry at the dietary guidelines and nutritionists I have met. The reccommended carb intake is higher than what I was eating before I was diagnosed. Why on Earth would I want to start consuming MORE carbs than I was before I was diagnosed? Seems to me that a mild case of malnutrition would be better than progressing to Type 1. Any other thoughts?

Hi, Jim. There are many of us who are angry about the dietary guidelines our nutritionist sat up for us. Glad you knew better. There are many who don't and who get worse because of it.

There is good news in all of this. You don't have to worry about going from type 2 to type 1. We can get better or worse depending on how we handle our diabetes, but we don't change types.

Glad you found us and welcome to the forum.

Most, if not all of your questions can be answered by doing some reading at Blood Sugar 101 Great information there that is easy to understand, and most of it is based on sound research. It will really open your eyes when it comes to Diabetes, the ADA, etc.
