Exactly.
I know the better half has diabetes, is over weight, but what really shocked me was seeing the diet they recommended! OMG, this is their recommendation! Below..........so 3 meals and snacks that are recommended. What maybe 250 carbs a day? Plus the high fructose syrups and sugars in everything manufactured? Insane.....

How much carb?
A place to start is at about 45-60 grams of carbohydrate at a meal. You may need more or less carbohydrate at meals depending on how you manage your diabetes. You and your health care team can figure out the right amount for you. Once you know how much carb to eat at a meal, choose your food and the portion size to match.
