hi ilaine,

while you believe carbs are the primary culprit in diabetes, the evidence, i believe, points elsewhere. imo you simply need to do further research, keeping an open mind while so doing.

see for example, nutritionfacts.org

in which over half a century ago diabetic retinopathy was -- yes -- cured by a very *high* carbohydrate diet.

the less strict plant-based diets recommended by the contemporary drs mentioned earlier apparently also have excellent success; perhaps you should read one of their books.

i have no axe to grind here, nor any interest in getting into arguments about these issues; my intent in posting was simply to point any interested readers to a wonderful source of nutritional research info (dr gregor's site) which i at least have found most eye-opening. from what i've learned, if i had diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or cancer, i would likely drop the moderate amounts yogurt and cheese i've long included in my diet and become a full vegan. but of course, everyone must choose their own way; i'm not preaching; 'veganism', just pointing out that the science shows they suffer far less than omnivores from society's usual ills.
