Food Pyramid

2big4britjez · 01-07-2009, 02:50 PM

I was diagnosed with Type 2 on Monday this week. My A1C was 6.2 and doc said it was high. I've checked my bg for the last 6 months or so, trying to monitor it and keep it around 93-96, so the doc appt came out of left field for me. Been lcing for over a year, but like my beer & wine.

Time to kick that lifestyle in the rear!

Before I left the doc office, she gave me brochures to take with. One of them included diabetes meal plans and suggested 15 gm carbs per serving, following the governmental food pyramid.

Talk about conflicting advice! She knows I've been lcing, approves of Atkins, so why would she/AMA hand me something with the pyramid on it?

Because that is what dieticians do. They feel they need to support the inaccurate government pyramid, which I feel is a crock.
