Once again, thank you Dodger!
In Carina62's original post, advice was sought asking what the RDA intake of carbs were for diabetics, which Northerner answered correctly at 230g, and I mentioned that the minimum amount of carbs should be, after consulting my DSN was 130g per day. AS you can see, we offered advice on the RDA of daily carbs, and one that I have gained through my own experience of carb reduction. Incidentally, I also had this clarified by a dietitian on a DAFNE course I attended, and by my own diabetes consultant, that is how I know that 130g is the minimum.
As you have obviously not read Carina's post correctly, you yourself have seen fit to refute the advice given by specialists in the field of medicine and nutritional expertise. Telling someone to ignore RDA's, and offering your own personal experience as a alternative is somewhat dangerous. As you do not know this person personally, and no nothing about their medical history either, it would be wise not to tell someone to ignore professional advice and simply answer the question which was asked. Furthermore, I can see that you didn't read the original post correctly, as Carina has said that she eats 25-30g of carb per meal, which would total 75-90g of carbs per day based on three meals, or 50-60g on two meals daily. So, why did you 'assume' that her carb intake was 25-30g daily...............enough said!🙂
