Reckon this even beats some of DUK's ludicrous high carb offerings, but hey it's high in fibre and low fat so that's ok then 

OMFG! My gum abscess is jumping just reading the recipe.

Your forgetting it's all about portion control Chris , just think it's high carb, high fibre and low fat so must be OK for diabetics right

So basically it's EIGHT different carbs plus margarine and a couple of eggs.

And they accuse Gary Fettke of "killing people" . . .

The eggs are ok  seriously though they are not alone the ADA, DUK and many others promote the same rubbish, it's them not Gary that's putting the lives of diabetics at risk 

That's my point, the people who scream "YOU'RE KILLING PEOPLE!" the loudest are usually killing more people than the Fettkes, Noakes, Kendricks etc. etc.
