You need to know the entire carbohydrate content, not just the sugar
You can see now in the approximate 2 and a bit years I’ve been a T2 how much information I’ve been given by GP’s and specialists.
Ha. I wouldn’t worry about that. Completely normal to receive bad or no advice from a doctor regarding diabetes. That’s why people come to places like this to get better
I have had the same issue. Last I got was “ if you can’t hunt it, fish it or pick it “ then don’t eat it.I don’t want the earth from them. Just a simple straightforward do’s and donts would be great! What I can and can’t eat. What to look out for in my foods such as the recommended levels of carbs, sugars etc.

I asked to get access to a dietician but they refused as I wasn’t heavy enough.

That could be beneficial as the majority of dieticians would direct you to the Eatwell Guide that they use to try and kill us.. bullet possibly dodged.I have had the same issue. Last I got was “ if you can’t hunt it, fish it or pick it “ then don’t eat it.

I had several specialists, dieticians, two nurses and my GP... And I had to get this knowledge from a book. So you're not alone there. But practically all carbs turn to sugar. They just put "of which sugars" on the label so you know thereare refined sugars put in... But it really doesn't matter, as starches turn to glucose too. So basically... It's a rather useless addition.You can see now in the approximate 2 and a bit years I’ve been a T2 how much information I’ve been given by GP’s and specialists.
Not in Europe. The fibre is already taken off the carbs value on packets.Take the fiber into consideration because that is indigestible carbs
Yes but and it's a huge BUT. Every single cell in the body can metabolise glucose. The liver alone can metabolise fructose. That's why fructose is uniquely toxic especially in diabetes or pre_ diabetes. It's pretty much guaranteed to give you fatty liver and the metabolic syndrome. Go easy on the fruit and avoid all fruit smoothies like the plagueAlso worth noting that although it may seem a preposterous notion, quite often sugar can raise blood glucose less than starches. This is because only half of it is glucose, the other half is fructose and won’t usually contribute measurably to blood glucose. It does have other seriously deleterious effects for a diabetic, but there’s no need to confuse things for the purposes of this discussion.
Essentially, all carbohydrate is glucose.
