Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Hi, I got a letter from the Diabetes Assoc. this weekend. Scientists did a study and discovered that all carbs raise blood glucose levels. So, in the wisdom of the medical field instead of telling diabetics to lower their consumption of carbohydrates, they have decided it is okay for us to eat sugar. They even went so far as to underline the sentence. It makes sickens me to see this kind of stupidity going by the very group so many diabetics rely on for GOOD information. They are destroying the health of diabetics. With all the possible consequences of this disease (blindness, amputations, high blood pressure, kidney failure, heart disease, etc.) if you don't keep your BG at normal levels, they are virtually signing many people's death certificates. Then they go on to say that you have to consume low fat, another fallacy that is ruining the health of all people, diabetics and non-diabetics alike. in Seattle...T2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
