True I don't know anything about a diabetes educator. I will ask in
March when I go back.

I know about carbs though and I realised after the conversation with the
dietician that I knew more about them than she did I was looking for
personal opinion though because I know there are many diabetics here.

I have no meds and am just looking to diet. I was advised here to take a
fasting blood test, so this morning the numbers were 6.1. I just had some
toast so will take it again in 2 hours.

Thanks for your comments.
