I hear ya! I sent away for the same packet recently and in truth, I gleaned more information from this site in 1 day than I’ve ever received from the ADA. I think part of the problem is nothing has been updated and everything is so generic. Unfortunately, we are not. I “Google” like crazy and look into LOW CARB versus Diabetic Diets. Hope that helps a little, but at least you know you’re not alone. !!!
