@A DiabetesTeam Member you are correct and my dietitian is also of that opinion - "we should be able to get all the vitamins, minerals and trace elements we need IF we eat correctly"

The problem is for those that follow low carb, vegetarian or vegan diets it is next impossible to get everything you need from food if you limit carbs (you just can't eat "enough" to get everything in many cases" and in the Vegan/Vegetarian world where you cut out Entire Food Groups it is even more difficult and particularly if you have food sensitivities as well

Because of that, anytime you can't eat "Food Guide" and if you are eating to help manage a chronic condition, we really need to use a Dietitian or Nutritionist (and not Google) to develop a diet that will satisfy our nutritional needs and recommend supplements if necessary
