[QUOTE="jp3, post: 639575, member: 129156"] Hey. Hope everyone is having a good day. My mother has had type 2 diabetes and ignored it for 2 years now. I recently found out the horrible things that happen when you ignore diabetes in the long run Her blood sugars are above 15 each morning and she is getting headaches, burning sensations in the leg and foot pain now. The diabetic doctors she sees are not very helpful. They only tell her she needs to change her lifestyle but she doesn't know how to start so I'm going to try to help her. Q Is the diet I made up for her a good one? I tried to eliminate all carbs and keep it to proteins and fats (low carbs high fat or like an atkins diet). Breakfast: Wholegrain cereal or yoghurt or eggs, Brunch: Omelette + Cheese block, celery / carrot / cucumber sticks, avocado, coffee, yoghurt Lunch: Salad or homemade soup (vegetable or mixed), chickpeas, Dinner: Meat / fish / chicken, cauliflower Q How to keep cookign time down? I'm plannign to cook for her as she doesn't want to do it herself. Q What to put in salads or homemade soups? Q She says she can't live without fruit or bread or white rice each day even though it makes her sick? Will cravings go with a high fat / protein and low carb diet? Q When she gets weak (happens every day), does that mean she needs to eat sugar or will eating a high fat / high protein or leafy green (like cucumber) get her back to normal? Appreciate everything so much! [/QUOTE]
