cut back on starches

What's bad is the advice she was given. Not that it's bad to cut
back on
carbs, but because it is so vague. She needs to know why she was
told that.
Does she have diabetes? Prediabates? She needs to know the reason,
be given
the appropriate testing and follow-up and use a meter to test her own
blood
sugar at home. Until she tests herself she will not know what is
"bad" for
her or not.


You said what I was getting ready to say. Surely they gave her a
reason for cutting back on starches, and if the reason was diabetes or
prediabetes, they should be advising her to test.

I have her bring it up when she goes talks to her doctor.
