At my one visit to a nutritionist, she wanted me to eat something like 15-30 carbs at mealtime! At 30 carbs, I usually fall asleep. A few nights ago, I spiked at 248 on 48 carbs.
I understand that nutritionists, CDEs, and doctors must go by what's been proven and accepted by the medical community -- it's the way they're trained, and if they try something different and it doesn't work, they get sued -- but it's apparent to me that it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. I can't deal with that many carbs, period.
On another forum, someone commented that he/she just nods and pretends that he/she is following the recommended diet. The doctor's happy with the great A1c numbers and cholesterol numbers. I think that's what I'm going to do the next time I saw my doctor: "Oh, yes, I saw the nutritionist. My numbers are getting much better." I'll just leave out the part where I decided to go low-carb instead
