******There are no foods that diabetics cannot eat; however, it is essential to reduce the amount of certain foods and to increase others. The dietary guidelines for people with diabetes are very similar to those recommended for everyone else - eating less sugar and fat, more fibre-rich, starchy foods, and more fruit and vegetables, with moderate amounts of meat and fish, as well as milk and dairy foods. There is no need to buy special diabetic foods - ordinary everyday foods in the right balance are the key to diabetic control. Choosing the right foods, however, can make a big difference. Eating regularly helps to ensure your blood sugar does not swing from one extreme to the other. People with diabetes need to base each meal on a starchy carbohydrate food for energy and to help maintain control over their blood-glucose level. It is a good idea to try to eat about the same amount of starchy foods each day, with plenty of vegetables, salad or fruit, and a smaller portion of meat or dairy foods. Starchy foods to try include: cereal, toast, rolls, bread, noodles, rice, pasta and potatoes, picking wholemeal versions where possible, since they are higher in fibre******

Diabetic friendly food? Which type of diabetes?
The most diabetic friendly food I eat is fast acting carb to treat a hypo.
I would want to see jelly babies, dextrose, coke, etc.
Why does a “diabetic” dietary need have to be for type 2?

I agree completely. Swimming against the tide is very tiring. I say very little at the GPs but have occasionally said to other Type 2 diabetics 'And how is that advice working out for you?'The trouble is, what are you to do? Go around the world convincing every dunce you meet this is fake info? I feel like that at the gps, that it’s somehow been left to me to disabuse them of this **** one at a time. Of course I don’t do it. I am probably considered silent, sullen and difficult if anyone considers me at all!
