NOT TOO OFTEN,THOUGH...

I find that all too often free, unsolicited advice is worth what you pay for it. It is often hard to get the point across that it is not welcomed and to do it tactfully - at least for me.

Our diabetes does vary... If I eat more than 40 carbs at a time I don't feel well, even though I know very well how much insulin to take and do in fact take the right amount. Since I don't want to feel ill after eating, I tend toward small meals, not many carbs in any one meal or snack, and consider my intake to be moderate rather than low carb. I include such as a slice of Udi's whole grain bread, or a serving of ice cream, fruit, or a bit of dark chocolate at times. For any one of us, it takes some experimentation to find what works for us.

I AGREE WITH YOU. ME TOO.

shohana, I am so glad that we agree! You are a real inspiration for us all -- but you've heard that before. Cheers!

In respect to "we should be eating a healthy diet that anyone should follow-right?" I would say: yes, and sugar is not part of a healthy diet! Really, we do not need sugar and some researchers even find it has toxic side effects.

I just have to say, I can't stand when the "Diabetes Police" show up when I'm eating!! I usually try and cut them short by saying something like, "I didn't know the Diabetes Police were in the building." Normally that gets a laugh & it's over.

I have been T1 for 37 with no complications.
I agree with what your docs have said in one of your last paragraphs. I am the same as you as far as "a sweet thing each day" goes.
There are other foods worse than sweet foods for diabetics, most those in the "startch" catagorey > pasta and potatos, but as long as you are covered you will be fine. But if you eat carbs like that it is nice to have a protein because that extends the time period that the carbs are released.
If you haven't talked to a CDE dietition then it's a good thing to do.
