Who do we believe, who do we take our advice from if there is so much

Those whose predictions about what foods and behaviour will raise or
lower our BG actually works in practice. That's the beauty of having
your own BG meter. You can test out out your doctor's advice, a book's
advice, a web site's advice, the advice of someone on asd, and see who
gets it right most often. Cut right through all the endless "authority
wars" by experimental test.


That's why I am grateful for many people here in asd. If I had followed the
advice of my diabetes nurse, it would have been twice a day, two to three
days a week for the first two weeks!!

Thanks Chris ))
