I can let you know what my diet guidelines are as soon as I get out of denial 
and anger!  No, seriously we have started adjusting our diet. We are focusing 
on raw breakfast smoothy using a protein powder with no carbs.  That is going 
very well for us. 
 
And, yes, I think that all those "diabeties" diets do more harm than good, so 
I ran as fast as I could when professionals starting insisting that we use 
their diet!!  That is how I came to be on this list, in fact.

I agree with what you said - I am printing  out  your entire email and 
putting it on the refrig door, I will also insist the hubby read it (hes 
still in denial too).  Can you tell we were diagnosed at about the same 
time?!! 

I will check out the two sites you suggested right now, and thank you.  We 
need someone to make us pay attention and get on the ball!  Look out trailmix 
- here we come!!
