In Reply to: What should a diabetic diet consist of? posted by Diane on October 04, 2000 at 10:48:03:

: Hi,
: my father in the UK is a type 2 diabetic. My mother tells me the diabetic clinic advised her to give him plenty of carbohydrates like potatoes, rice, pasta etc. I am alarmed at this, it goes against everything I've read. A diabetic diet should be low-carb, high-protein, surely?
: Thanks in advance for any advice,

You should be on a low carbo diet like the Zone Diet. or the Heller Diet. you can get the books for this diets.
