Interesting and sad.
I can remember my grandmother....she drank no milk, couldn't have sugar at all, and bread, pasta, potatoes were all limited.
I actually checked the ADA site to find out just when it became ok for diabetics to have sugar. Mid 90's is what I found. They do recomend that diabetics avoid sugar, candy, etc....but they can have cake, icecream, puddings....anything they want, as long as their carb count doesn't go too high!
How many years did they manage diabetes well....granted with a strict diet, but pretty much managed.....then all of a sudden they change things all around?!?!?!?! Makes no sense to me!
