My Girlfriend and I are confused about exactly what kind of rice she can cook for me and what type of bread is suitable to eat, obviously in small amounts. So much of what we are being told is either confusing or conflicting. Also what kind of cereal is acceptable?
I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and saw the nurse today which was no help what so ever as the booklets and information she gave were hard to believe. An example being, the doctor has prescribed metformin 500mg twice daily. In one sentence she told me to cut it down to 500mg once daily to stop the upset stomach side effect. In the next breath, she was telling me I should only eat green bananas as ripe bananas continue large amounts of natural sugars. As far as I'm aware eating green bananas will cause an upset stomach.
I've decided to go on a low carbs diet but have no idea on potion sizes etc. We seem to be drowning in conflicting information so any help would be appreciated.
Good morning RYU... Check out the threads on this site, there is one for newbies.... 'Low Carb Recipes' and 'What Did You Eat Today' and 'What Was Your BG This Morning'... or words to that effect... A lot of the people on DBUK low-carb-high-fat and have stopped all medication... I never took it in the first place and a year later my blood glucose is tightly controlled still... You know that rice turns to sugar when you eat it? As do potatoes, anything made with flour, etc? Sorry if you've already been deluged with advice and tips I don't have time to read everything this morning... good luck... Susi
