Sunny England

Can't believe that we've had a few days of sun and warmth and meanwhile my family in New Jersey have rain and wind. They say that we should expect frost by the end of the week.

From the library I took out a diabetes diet cookbook written by a well know chef here in England, Antony Worrall Thompson. I was so surprised to see the high amount of carbs per serving in most of the recipes and so I emailed him telling him that.

I received an email back from him today. He said that DiabetesUK gave his recipes the nod of approval as well as several nutritionists.

I feel that DiabetesUK and the American Diabetes Association both give wrong information about food choices and suggest too high carb foods. I could never eat the things that they suggest.

I'm going to have to take the book out again from the library so I am armed when I write back to him.

He needs to rewrite this book or write another with the help of an informed diabetic person....
