My 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with diabetes less than a month ago. She is on a carb counting diet. Yesterday, we went to the diabetes clinic for the first time, and the dietitian was frustrated with the variety of food I am giving my daughter.

I’m not finding a lot of information regarding the benefits of low glycemic index foods (whole wheat flour, flaxseeds, wheat germ). Am I wasting my time creating ways to incorporate these foods into her diet, or will they really benefit my daughter?

My husband has type 2 diabetes treated with pills, he has bad headaches, and he has been told his sugar is too high. He doesn’t follow through with diabetes doctors, won’t go to one, and won’t let me call one so I don’t know where to turn. However, he has finally decided to follow the carb total, and we need to know how many carbs he can have per day.
