I think Julie is right on this one. You don't catch diabetes. Many
things factor into it. Diet may push things along, but it is not the
sole cause of it. I know many diabetics and none of them have been
told to eat 375 g of carbohydrates daily. I'm not sure where you came
up with that number, Todd, but it just isn't accurate. That would be
25 servings of carbs. I don't think anyone eats that much. Just so
you know, all vegetables have carbs in them too.

I have T2, eat grain still and control my glucose levels with diet,
and it is working. I'm glad you have been able to go off the meds,
but I hope it was done safely.
