Oh. Sorry Dinah :-(
It is so hard when there is so much conflicting information and advice out there. For instance, in this book I have entitled "The Doctors Book of Food Remedies" it says the following: "Most people with diabetes should eat a diet that's higher in carbohydrates, particularly the complex kind, than was formerly believed. While your doctor, or nutritionist will determine your personal needs for carbohydrates, most people should be getting approximately 50 percent of total calories from carbohydrates, says Stanley Mirsky, M.D., associate clinical professor of metabolic diseases at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and author of "Controlling Diabetes the Easy Way"". It also talks about soluble fiber being important in stabilizing blood surgar (according to James W. Anderson, M.D., professor of medicine and clinical nutrition at the Veterans Administration Medical Center at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington. Then again, the book was published in 1998, so who knows. I just thought it was interesting.
I am sorry for the difficulties you are experiencing. I hope you can find an eating plan that will sufficiently meet *all* of your needs.
Take care.
