A recent recommendation is 45 grams per meal, plus around 30-50 for a snack, for a grand total of about 180grams. That is the equivalent of 15 Tablespoons of sugar, or nearly a cup. For humans, the normal blood sugar range is around 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon in the entire body. <br /><br />95% of diabetics are type II. Many Type I's are very successful with a low-carbohydrate approach. You get better regulation of blood glucose. <br /><br />Insulin is definitely a crutch for type II. The ADA suggests individuals not modify their eating style too much, as this is a burden! Just supplement with insulin (one of the ADA's many corporate sponsors). <br /><br />There is no cure for Type I, though some have contacted me to say they are working toward one. Type II is curable, and I have seen it personally in family members with normal A1c and glucose.

And people with type 1 need insulin to survive. Without it they will die (you know this from your son living with it). The Low Carb Convert has stated in a previous blog post that insulin is a medication "crutch". FYI: there is NO cure for type 1 or type 2 diabetes. There is management right now......until there IS a cure. For anyone to suggest they can cure it is irresponsible and dangerous.erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243807657669526165.post-13078202710487271902012-07-30T05:51:08.859-07:002012-07-30T05:51:08.859-07:00Hi Jo.

I believe the main drive behind pushing carbohydrates in meals (that doctors, nurses and major organizations alike support) is based in the belief that if they pull the plug on carbohydrates - the 'void' will be filled with fats, which are deemed unhealthy. The newest dietary guidelines want everyone to eat less than 7% saturated fat. <br /><br />The sale of insulin is akin to the sale of statins for cholesterol lowering...although there is almost zero use for statins. Money changes people and makes them do things which are not rational - and this is the state of Western medicine.Low Carb Converthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216017477321739565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243807657669526165.post-50166346696306797272012-07-29T03:23:00.367-07:002012-07-29T03:23:00.367-07:00My son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 6 years ...My son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 6 years ago at 10 years old . I knew nothing about diabetes at that time so I did everything they told me which was to feed him 75 carbs per meal with 3 snacks a day at 15 carbs for each one . Also of course give him enough insulin to cover all the carbs (more insulin more money)<br />Well needless to say he turned into a butterball quickly he had never ate that much in his whole life ,so I started my on research and found dr Bernstein diet for type 1 s although I did not cut his carbs that low I did cut carbs and of course used less insulin and he lost weight .long story short at 16 he now eats no more then 100 carbs a day most days under 50 carbs and has a A1C of 6.0 <br />Why would anyone suggest more carbs and more insulin then low carb healthy eating less insulin unless itis to sale more diabetic supplies . Of course this is just my opinionjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696386988954862457noreply@blogger.com
