Anybody know what a "diabetes educator" is? I'm not at all sure what that is. Also, there is no "ADA diet" per se. There may have been once, but there isn't now. The article you cited even says so:
Quote:
"There is no longer a diabetic diet. People with diabetes eat the exact same foods as anyone else," says Nathaniel Clark, national vice president for clinical affairs at the ADA. "We do not believe there is any harm in eating carbohydrates."

Semantics.
The ADA has specific Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) guidelines published....it is the foundation of dietary recommendations made to those with diabetes. It may not be called the "ADA Diet" anymore, but it remains the ADA's nutritional guideline for diet in those at risk for or diagnosed with diabetes.
You may want to take a peek at their bookstore - rich with books of ADA published book on how to eat with diabetes, with titles like "The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible," "Cooking With the Diabetic Chef," "Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating," "Dr. Buynak's 1-2-3 Diabetes Diet," "Brand Name Diabetic Meals In Minutes".........amazing some of the books they'll place their logo on!
