I’m hoping the diabetic education classes will explain everything with more clarity next week for me.
With fruits, I usually eat strawberries, raspberries, . I lean towards berries
first point...don't get your hopes up.
here's a second opinion, Best post 2019
A tiny quote, because i think this guys post is too important for people to ignore
...I am angry, but I am just one guy.
But the thing is that I am not
I’m with Tom Watson, and an increasing cadre of the MPs who have type 2
I’m with Jon Gaunt, journalist and broadcast. There’s a growing tide of journalists who are very keen on to this story
Thanks to the work of PHC I am with more and more GP surgeries turning their back on PHE, the NHS and Diabetes UK
Above all, I am with the growing tide of thousands quietly getting on with saving their own lives.
You might just, even from your short time here, know more then they tell you..(i did)
their helpful and willing, it's true..but i'm convinced restricted in what they CAN discuss & promote or tell us.
I did try and broached the ideas from here, but the response was, a variant of 'too radical' & " too obsessed with fats"..,
i can't recall the full comments, but that's a close approximation.
but the advise was to eat as normal, just less, brown this, brown that..rice and bread all ok..:***: )
some guidance as to carbs that i DID find useful
however the diet and advice would have left me, gradually getting sicker and sicker.
NOT my game plan.
i found it was perhaps 20%/80% people like myself who seemed to want to get better AND make the required effort
(sounds disrespectful, not meant , but people either have it in them to help themselves when really pushed or not at all)
and those who seemed to just accept taking the meds was the way for them..
Point two...your foods are edited above, are where i draw the line...i like apples and bananas, the most i would have of either as a TREAT, would be half..and a half again tomorrow to save wasting it, but not on a regular basis.
but berries ..everyday.
the more exotic fruits..don't they taste a little sweet to you ?
that's because they are..and we (me, you and all those who suffer from being diabetic) are basically allergic to sugar.
so best to avoid them.
