That's a really interesting statistic, Susie...I wish we had less lurkers and

more participants.

You all out there, I'm sure you have something to offer. Let us know what

kind of food plan you're following...do you lowcarb? Medium carb? ADA? What

works for you??

This list does seem to have a lowcarb orientation but it could be just

because the " lowcarbers " are more verbal. I myself eat about 100 carbs a

day, which would probably be considered moderate carb...but no one has ever

defined these terms exactly. I consider Bernstein at 30 carbs per day

low...and Susie has often quoted that the average American (non-diabetic)

diet is 300 carbs, so I figure 100 is medium. This works for me...but I'm

type 1 LADA, not type 2 , take insulin and am not overweight.

I think it's important to have more input from the quiet ones out there.

Please pipe up, you guys! The most important thing we can offer newbies is

the realization that there is no one treatment that works for everyone - and

to show them all the alternatives so they can experiment and find what works

for them. As we say - YMMV!

Exactly. If I had wanted to get really nasty, you'd have known it. And you

should hear the vitriolic comments on some of the other lists!

Bruce and I had what I thought was a civil, if

spirited, exchange. I hope he and I are still friends.
