Of course. I start with a baseline. A diet I can eat if I am
absolutely stagnant. The amount of carbs I add are according
to my activity level. If I am not up to par and lying around
all day I will do the baseline. If I am jogging I add a
little more carb etc etc. But the meals posted are just food
for thought and can be changed according to different
tastes, activity levels, meds etc etc.

I have never shoved my diet and never will, it's a personal
diet and it changes. The only thing I have in common with
most other diabetics is the need to make some sort of carb
modification.

I have plenty of books that have no medical references at
all. Probably because each recipe is not a whole day's diet.

??? It wasn't about what I ate for breakfast. It was about
looking at the total picture of someone else who is having
trouble controlling their bg's. You tried to pass that off
as people "showing off" by posting "their" meal plans. Like
someone who is exercising their *** off, taking meds and
following a diet but bg's are still too high. Not
unreasonable to ask them to post their daily food plan.
Often you find someone was told to cut sugar but are eating
6 slices of white bread in a session etc. You have a real
problem with people trying to help others find their way,
don't you.

The feedback from these types of threads has always been
predominantly positive. Your negativity is sticking out like
a sore thumb. Where's your support, Sally. Seems to have
taken a holiday.

Well generally most people read ALL threads and will
eventually find their way to the bit that says a lot of
diabetics are carb sensitive in the mornings. Or more likely
someone will notice in the newbie's meal plan that their
numbers are always very high after breakfast when surprise
surprise they ate cereal. Then people will offer alternative
suggestions for breakfast items, you know support and all
that.

I crowed?

What? That I don't like trolls who try to undermine the good
support in here? That makes me a very bad person. Besides,
you criticised everyone else with all the "they" do this and
"they" are wolves in sheep's clothing, etc.
