I got this in my email. Please point out all the carbs beside
flour????? Diabetics do eat carbs. They are allowed 12 per day,
divided up among 3 meals and a snacks. I eat less than that. Not like
someone is going to sit down and eat the whole loaf of bread.
Apparently you have never talked with a nutritionist about a diet for
diabetics. They do not go without carbs in a day. Nutritionists frown
upon the Atkins diet which I think you are leaning toward with no
carbs.

Who is the "they" that are allowed "12" carbs per day?

I am assuming that the "12" are 12 carb counts of 15 grams each. That
might be a lot more than some people can handle. Each Diabetic should
have their own meal plan that has been formulated based upon their own
careful meter reading records. There is no "they"

While we appreciate your efforts to post here, please check your recipes
for carbohydrate count per serving and restrict your posting to recipes
that are less than 15 grams of carbs per serving. I think we could all
appreciate those.

Happy new year.
The nutritionist I spoke with said 12 carbs a day.
YOU WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT I CAN POST HERE. No one is going to eat the
whole loaf of bread which is more than the 15 carbs you are bragging
about.

Honey, you need to calm down and learn the difference between 15 grams
of carbohydrates as a Diabetic "carb count" and the total amount of
carbs in a serving.

Your recipe, if it is "15" carbs for the whole loaf would be 15 times 15
grams or 225 grams of carbs. If the loaf came out to a total of 10
servings, it would be 22.5 grams of carbs for each serving, which is
more than your "one carb" Do you understand now?


The 12 "carbs" per day your nutritionist said you could eat equals a
total daily diet of 180 grams of carbohydrates per day. That might be
good for you (have you checked your meter 1 hour and 2 hours after
eating your meals??) but it is not good for other people who seriously
have to watch their carbohydrate intake.

Most people who have been serious about their Diabetes prefer to get
their carbohydrates from fruits, milk, nuts and vegetables and not
starches which don't come with a lot of vitamins or other nutritional
benefits.

I do hope that you are counting fruit, nuts and milk into your "12 carb
per day" diet. I also hope that you are checking your blood sugars so
that you can learn how those "12 carbs" are effecting your blood glucose.

If you are serious about staying well, you might consider calming down
and realizing that there are people on this group who have been living
with this disease for a long time and have learned to live with it
without suffering the evil side-effects.

Of course you can post whatever you want to this group. It's not
moderated, but you must also be prepared for those who have better
knowledge to comment on your posts.

Sorry you took offense at my post, but frankly, dear, your flooding of
Usenet with your recipes makes it look like you're just looking for
attention.
