I'm relatively sure the UK organization is pretty much as lame as the
ADA. We have some UK folks on the diabetic newsgroup I frequent and
they don't seem to think very highly of it.

As for the ADA... well, I quit following them years ago, long before
they were on the web. When they finally admitted starch was
biochemically the same as sugar, and the conclusion they reached was
that it was therefore OK for diabetics to eat sugar - I lost all
interest in them then.

The link I gave you about testing is what works. No one has to take my
word for it, or the ADA's, or the UK organizaiton, or anyone else. You
eat some food, you test your bg, and you decide based on the results
what foods are best to eat.

In most cases, it just ends up being a typical low-carb diet, though
some people have unusually low or high reactions to certain foods and
can therefore "allow" some things others can't or must "disallow" some
foods others are fine with.

Beats the heck out of a generic GI scale, an average measured on a bunch
of strangers - or generic guidelines that work for some diabetics, but
not necessarily you.
