I think it is particularly difficult for TII diabetics to change what they eat because the nutritional establishment and the ADA works against us, giving people a convenient out.

“But the ADA says that it is fine to have an HBA1C of 6.5 or 7!” “But the ADA says that I ought to eat a low fat diet based on ‘healthy whole grains’ and it is just fine if my BG is 165 2 hours after a meal!” “Nutritionists say it is fine to eat 45 gms of carb per meal!”

Diabetes educators know that most people will not be compliant, and so they give up in advance. It’s a vicious circle.

Thank doG, I seem to be one of those people who does not react to salt. If I had to cut that out too there would be little reason to live.
