[QUOTE="Nyxks, post: 666906, member: 116204"] [SIZE=3] Hun, potatoes and rice are NOT poison they are not on everyones list of approved foods to be able to eat without a glucose spike, but you have to lean what spikes you and what doesn't - which is only learned though trial and error of doing so. But yes eating as fresh as possible and staying away from the processed stuff isn't a bad thing on oh so many levels. I don't do potatoes because I can't do nightshades, but rice is a staple in my meal plan and with minimal spiking with the amount that I tend to eat (half a cup on average). I also eat a lot of fresh veggies but I stay away from animal sources of protein/fat (not my idea of a food source) I find tofu and other sources work just fine for myself. The book Diabetes for Dummies isn't a bad starter book for many, might not fit the bill fully but its a decent start for many people it does seem. The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed is also a decent book to go though (you can get it on ebook format) didn't find it helpful in regards to T1 but since its a T2 book the info is good though not sure how accurate it is for those outside of north america.
