a Diet for diabetics: There is a lot of discussion on this in the books. The only authoritative person I have ever spoken to on the subject suggested that those who have been diagnosed as hypoglycemics by use of the 5-hour glucose tolerence test should stick to a low carb - high protein diet if they want to advoid latent diabetes. The diabetics I know range from those who eat anything and balance it with insulin, to those who attempt to follow a very strict diet in an attempt to lessen their dependance on insulin. The ones who try diet control are all on hi-pro low-carb diets. Since this is only noting my experience, I highly recommend that anyone who has diabetes consult BOTH their doctor and a professional dietician/nutritionist. Excuse the spelling - it is late. Good luck. -- ________ ( ) Don Stanwyck @( o o )@ 312-979-3062 ( || ) Cornet-367-3062 ( \__/ ) ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck (______) Bell Labs @ Naperville, IL
