carrie,
i would be curious to hear just what this nutritionist said.
i used to do computer work for a state health department diabetes
program. i was dumbfounded by the "nutritional" advice they gave out.
i don't have diabetes, but because i was eating a mostly raw, fairly
low-carb diet (just for the increased energy etc), i was eating a
small fraction of the diabetogenic, high-glycemic-index foods that
these poor folks were being told to eat! i was horrified. eg they
actually distributed a pamphlet written for people with diabetes
called "Sugar is not the enemy".
i concluded that they were, consciously or unconsciously, actually
pushing the expensive diabetes DRUGS.
