CHO sound better for me, CHO are responsible for insulin level/insulin req in accordance with Glu level, so in diabetics settings, insulin is what he/she lacks high CHO leads to high Glu. please let me know if i am wrong

cuo burn on a candle of fat ..remeber that for CHO to be effectively burnt we need fat decrease caloric intake decrease total demand of insulin and decrease the incidence of insulin resistance however in longstanding diabetes..dyslipidemia ensues and decrease fat intake is recommended

Delmar, i am not sure i understand "for CHO to be effectively burnt we need fat" Glu stored in fat under insulin influence and throu GLUT receptors on adipose tissue, fat is only a place of storage of EXTRA Glu...and AA or FA do not insuin to be properly absorbed; insulin resistance is due to high Glu content in food for a prolong period of time (receptor downregulation/unavailability of receptors), also, remember ther is a drug that blocks reabsorbtion of Glu from the gut (acarbose), which helps decrease need of insulin. i agree that fat intake should be monitored due to dislipidemia, after CHO
 please tell me what you think
