Re: Is there controversy in the diabetes community?

**Congratulations, !! Great news :-)

Barb,

Thanks I feel so much better,

[Guest guest]

I'm delighted to hear this!! I know some get along well with a higher carb

plan, and I'm all for whatever works, however I read of how carb spike folks

and I know they spike me. So I usually recommend trying the lower carb

intake, test, test, test and keep good notes.

You're right about email being misinterpreted from time to time.

How much " dry oatmeal " and kind did you prepare?

Try the oatmeal mixture I have posted before using 1 T. each, old

fashion oatmeal, oat bran, wheat bran, toasted soy granules, 1/2-2/3

water, microwave, add 1 t. ground cinnamon, Splenda, 1 T ground

flaxseed, water or 2-3 T. milk if too thick. Then walk 2 miles.

Hello cld60@... (CLD),

In reference to your comment:

è is that too low/no carbs is very hard on the kidneys and

è some low carbers eat too much fat and too much beef

è which are hard on the heart...

the myth about low carb being bad for the kidneys is because of the fact

that

folks who have kidney problems.....

ie PRE low carb eating.

when there are pre-exhisting kidney problems, kidney failure, etc,

people are

then advised to eat a different balance of food's.... not such a high

protein

diet.

However for people without pre-exhisting conditions there is no kidney

danger

for low carb eating. This is echo'd on the mayo clinic web site and

other

well known medical web sites.

but you have to really look for it...

btw not all high protein low carb food plans include a lot of beef,

but

many of us that eat low carb have shown via our blood tests that our

cholesterol counts etc have dropped after beginning to eat more

protein...

I know that different diabetes are also different, and need different

food

plans.. i just know what works for me, and i know this based on lab test

results plus how i feel in general, both arthritis wise, without a lot

of

carbs, and also energy wise.

See you all in 50 yrs when i'm 93
