Like I said before, I don't agree with everything in the ADAPS. I believe
that low carbing does work for T2's, but if it were prescribed for all T2's
it would be doomed to failure. It would not work because 90% of the patients
would not stay on it very long if at all. Recommendations for the treatment
of the masses (of diabetics) must be something that will work for the
majority of the patients.
If I were a T2, I would be on a low(er) carb diet in the 80-90 carb/day
range. If I couldn't keep tight control at that level I would add metformin.
If I still couldn't keep tight control I would add insulin. That's my
position on T2 control.

Hi Sarah
Your first comment I partially agree with - but there must
be better guidelines for the treatment of those who ARE
prepared to be proactive; not the tendency to assume that
the guidelines, if stricter, would be rejected so
consequently the bar is lowered.
One wonders what may occur if they were better guidelines
combined with appropriate education of all concerned -
doctors, nurses, dietitians and patients.
On your second paragraph I don't disagree at all, except
that I would not be basing it on carb levels but meter
results - which is not quite the same thing. You did note
that the ADA does not recommend less than 130gms daily? I
would be happier with your recommendations.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
