Diabetic on low carb
Just wondering, does anyone have any information on the type of nutritional advice given to patients with Type 2 Diabetes? I've got a friend who's my age who has that affliction and according to him, his nutritionist recommends a large proportion of grains.

The only reason why old school nutritionist are afraid of low carb diets is because of ketoacidosis which is unable to clear out excess ketones from the body.
Unless his family has a history of that, then you should try out a low carb diet for 1 week and see how he's ketone level is.

Working "hard," or the perception of working hard, doesn't really mean anything. Sweating, vomiting, and breathing hard could be a good workout or a tropical disease kicking in.-Dan John
