[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1387690, member: 375067"] When I was first diagnosed with Type 2 I started to carefully read all the ingredients of the food I was eating. It is surprising just how much sugar there is in food, for example my Jordan's Country Crisp cereal was 24% sugar and some Powdered Chai Tea I was drinking every morning was 50% sugar. Drinks like Drinking Chocolate have massive amounts of sugar so should be avoided. Having cut out the sugar, I then realised that I also needed to cut out carbohydrates as well as these rapidly get turned into blood glucose. So, I cut out breakfast cereals, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta and also stopped drinking orange juice. The question is "what can you eat?". There are lots of recipes on sites like [URL='https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes']Diet Doctor[/URL] and [URL='https://thebloodsugardiet.com/recipes/']The Blood Sugar Diet.[/URL] I have lost about 6Kg since being diagnosed Type 2 and my blood glucose levels have dropped from around 13 to 6.5.
