New national diabetes guidelines 2009 - united arab emirates

Food Nutrition
1

Please find attached the Newly and firstly released DIABETES GUIDELINES 2009 for United Arab Emirates.

The only thing I do not agree with in the attached document ; is the table for recommended nutrition intake of carbohydrates / proteins / fat.

I believe that the carbohydrate Intake should be under 100 g ( See Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution ) ; while Protein Intake should be accordingly higher.

I don’t agree with the recommended nutrition intake of carbs/proteins/fat either. Way too many carbs.
I’d need to be off Metformin and on insulin in a week if I consumed the recommended amount of carbs.
Thanks for sharing the interesting guidelines.
