    Eating in General

    You are quite normal with sugar as most people. You just need to know the cause of your illness and break the addiction immediately. When I learned it, getting rid of my habits were not easy, so I just broke the sugar by drinking straight lemon and ate nothing containing added sugar. I never had...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    As typical, my breakfast is a big organic salad to which I make dressing with olive oil, lemon juice and a lot of garlic. Yes, I do eat chocolate candy, but only organic with very little sugar (85% chocolate today). I never had a threat of diabetes, but learned how the most dangerous addictive...

    im feeling hopeless

    You have a typical difficulty, only more expanded. You have a right to make your own decisions, not medical doctors. Therefore you need to research everything you consume to learn to real effects, and ignore all advertisements that lie to you. If I believed doctors I would have been dead...

However, I never drank coffee in my entire 72 years (except to keep me awake when I had to drive all night) because I do not like the flavor or even smell of it. What I do like is peppermint tea that I was...

    Do you think diabetes is worse with poverty

    Most people do not know or think about what is healthy to eat, not even looking at the ingredients, but addicted by flavor. Personally several years I could not afford more than one dollar per meal (not including what I raise in my garden. But I know cheap food would cause more medical cost. I...

    Puddings?

    Good ideas for most people, but to make it simple I learned to like flavor of things sour instead of sweet. Instead of continuing the sugar addiction almost everyone has, I just drank straight organic lemon juice for several months. Then I liked the flavor, and no longer tolerate anything too...

    Blood Sugar levels varying widely

    garethj101, You are wise to count before you consume. A lot of disease (not just diabetics) is caused by eating for flavor (like addiction to sugar) instead of nutrition. After a lot of experience, most recent cancer, I learned what to avoid and what to recover with, so I put nothing in my...

    Introducing myself

    Welcome. I have no diabetes threat myself, but interested in natural solutions replacing medical procedures. (If I believed doctors I would have been dead already four times.) I am just a year younger than you, and most of my food all summer comes from my garden. I just came to this site now...

    Your a diabetic you can't have sugar

    Most people just ignore the obvious. Even if they say they will not eat sugar, they do not read the ingredients in the package they eat from.

    Your a diabetic you can't have sugar

    You describe the real cause "The history of sugar is quite interesting, once considered a spice, in its refined form it is a man made addictive. . . " I often tell people that sugar is the most dangerous addictive drug in the world!

    Type 1 Having some weird probs.

    I used to work several times in Brazil. I recognized the normal food supply was not as much junk as the United States usually eats, but still a lot of the most dangerous addictive drug in the world - SUGAR.
