Hear, hear. There are countless clinicians that we see around the 'net - MDs, dieticians, etc - who have "seen the light" because they actually started tracking their BG while eating their Healthy Carbs( tm). It's a rude awakening. Glucometer don't lie.
Some will argue that it's not the same because those donuts and cakes are far less nutritious - fine, but that's not a good reason to sugar-bomb yourself with oatmeal and corn if you can get roughly the same nutrition from foods that don't spike sugars, contain anti-nutrients, make you hungrier, etc. |
