Have you ever wondered why the NHS Stats for diabetes control are so appalling ?

Check out the link below it will take you to the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement. Check out the dietary recommendations for type two diabetics. I reckon the people that recommended that carb intake should be in an institution, preferably in a secure ward.
 
"Daily food intake - no clear formula for dietary composition, aim to make changes that approach following recommendations:
 
 
 

total carbohydrate - 45-60% of energy intake [16] or 45-65% of energy intake [17]
protein - less than 1g/kg per body weight [16]
total fat - less than 35% of energy intake [16]
saturated and trans-unsaturated fat (hydrogenated vegetable oils in manufactured foods, such as pies, pastry, biscuits, cake) - less than 10% of energy intake [16]"
