| I think the problem is that people who are not diabetic fundamentally do not get what it is like, whether they be doctors, nutritionists or just regular guys in the street, so the whole 'one size fits all' nutrition plans are fairly common. i control my weight by regulating my carb intake, i eat a lot of carbs, but relative to my activity level, not a great deal. if im not doing exercise i hardly eat carbs, simple as that, for me weight control and diabetes control go hand in hand. one piece of advice which nutritions would never dream of giving is to add fat to things; i love to cook with olive oil, cream, cheese (not all in the same dish!) and these totally eliminate spikes, i just make sure i split my bolus (and i dont have these meals all the time)...but its what works for you. im a firm believer that you have to develop an eating plan that works for you (or like me, not have a plan just have a catalogue of info in your brain as to how to treat the different styles of eating!); if it doesnt work for you...it wont work!
