What is probably meant, are to eat more of the " long-chain carbs " : Minimize sugar in it's simpler forms (sugar, honey etc.) and exchange them for slower absorbed carbs, like in whole meal bread, potatoes etc.>> Oluf, I think I remember you are a type I on insulin, and I am a type II on insulin, so what I'm finding is that I can be a little more flexible about carb intake than when I was on diet and exercise alone, and then meds. According to the glycemic index, potatoes, bread, rice, pasta, grains raise bg's as fast or faster than sugar, honey, etc. For those of us matching insulin to carbs, this is less of a problem, than for folks who are controlling bg's with D + E and maybe meds.
