Hi BH when you came on before your were given a link.
That tells you are really restricted to berries etc.
Neil
Some veggies eaten raw - taste quite delicious .
Raw cauli , peas popped out of their pods (real yummy)
Carrots sticks as a nibble are popular eaten raw .
Another way around things for a crunchy nibble fix
Really!! Restricted to berries, who says that? Its remotely possible I suppose that you might find that you can only eat berries but thats certainly not true for everyone or even the 'norm'.
Surely it is better to test foods for yourself and find out what you can eat and in what portion sizes. I eat an apple or a small /medium orange most days usually after lunch or diner with little effect to my bg levels. Not everyone will be able to of course but its a bit silly to tell people what they can and cant eat isnt it, we are all different and our diabetes is individual to us.
I would say Catherine's advice above is sound, everyone needs to find out their own personal reactions to fruits and all other carbs for that matter, there is no one size fits all, unless of course you want to be totally restricted and cut out many foods that you will probably be able to eat.
Yes ally, often they are. I think you were also advised to test with your meter as well to check what is OK for you?i was told that pears, bananas, apples and pineapples were the worst fruits to eat
Possibly true for some people but exotic fruits, including pineapple, proably have the highest sugar of all and best kept small or an occasional treat.i was told that pears, bananas, apples and pineapples were the worst fruits to eat
Hi Syd, I agree with everything you are saying, we are all individuals and different foods affect us in different ways, but I was quoting information which was in the link he was given previously, not telling him that he was only to have berries, but go to the link http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/a-new-low-carb-guide-for-beginners.68695/ which would answer his questions including testing, which he had clearly not done when given the link before.
Hope this makes it clearer.
Mmm not really.
If you meant to say that "we are all individuals and different foods affect us in different ways" then perhaps you should have said that rather than "you are restricted to berries"!!
They seem like two very different statements to me, polar opposites in fact.
