[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 323120, member: 439"] Restricting calories is NOT a diabetic diet. Having "exchanges" of proteins combined with complex carbohydrates is. I was gestational diabetic with both pregnancies, and my dad and both grandmothers were diabetic. Your mother needs to be seen by a nutricianist or dietician to know what and when to eat. She needs to be having her blood glucose levels tested. The absolute worst thing for a diabetic - and what causes all the related health issues - is having blood sugar spikes and dips. The goal is to have as steady of levels as possible. The nutricianist or diatician will recommend a diet based on weight loss, but also keeping blood sugar levels even. And not going into ketosis, which the South Beach diet is notorious for. [/QUOTE]
