[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1100283, member: 160246"] I'm sometimes wrong. Might be this time too. Don't know. Mike doesn't know either. When I was diagnosed 10 years ago, not one healthcare practitioner told me I could improve my glucose and insulin levels with the right diet. Not one. I have a real problem with that. After my initial diagnosis I read one book on diabetes. Unfortunately it was the wrong book. It relied heavily on nutritional supplements, not diet. I couldn't afford the long list of supplements, so I ate as healthily as I could: protein, vegetable or fruit, and starch with each meal, a piece of toast with cheese or peanut butter, or fruit for a snack as needed between meals. When my doctor's office informed me of my A1c of 9.9% a year ago, I was in absolute shock. They wanted to put me on metformin and a statin that week. I declined, but agreed to an appointment in 6 weeks. Within three days I was on the diet that I am on today. My blood glucose stabilized to where it is now in 30 days. How different would my life be today had someone, anyone helped me understand how to "eat to my meter", and to walk every day? Worse yet, up until a few years ago, most if not all dieticians were recommending the American Diabetes Association's diet. Most still do. There will always be outliers, but most type 2 diabetics get worse on this diet. I just got an email from the ADA asking me for a donation, and to sweeten the request, they provided me with an apple pie recipe. :mad: We've got to start telling type 2 diabetics the truth. T2DM is a lifestyle disease. It takes decades to develop. It takes a commitment to learn which foods make us better and which make us worse to turn it around, but it's absolutely worth the effort. :) [/QUOTE]
