I too have been very afraid to post my diet on here, I was diagnosed in 2001, and enjoyed my high carb diet, I was diagnosed in Ireland and was a regular speaker at young diabetic groups. I was never taught to count carbs and even though being back in the UK since 2006 have never been on a NICE or a DAFNE course. In fact my Diabetic specialist has cancelled my last 4 year appointments. I was an ultra runner running 150-250 miles a week so my diet was pure carb and protein.
When you stop running your appetite still remains and due to a business a wife 3 children, I graze, I eat a couple of digestives at lunch time, at about 8:30-9pm I have my evening meal, Lasagne, Sausage and mash, McDonalds, Dominoes, Chicken Doner Kebab, Steak Diane with chips and Veg, Full Roast. I am not keen on sweets but am partial to a couple of large bags of Phileas Fogg crisps 4 large bottles of Estrella, This carries me through my work till a bout 4 am where I take my Lantus and go to bed and am up for the 6am feed of youngest and off to work, my average BG levels are 6.9 my cholesterol is 3.9 even though doc keeps trying to put me on statins, I have explained to him when he can tell me the exact science behind cholesterol and the effects of statins with a low cholesterol count, I might consider it. My liver function is a tad high but hey I would like to die before someone else has to wipe my backside.
I am very partial to Jelly Snakes mm mm.
I hope no one tries my diet. It works for me, I cook for my wife and kids but by the time I have cooked for them eating is farthest from my mind.
Find out what works for you again I mention that as a diabetic, YOU are your own experiment. Record your results and adjust accordingly. Always remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. If in doubt ASK
I would like to add that I am very interested in removing corn syrup from my diet, I feel governments have let us down in this aspect and our diets have been infected with this disease, it blocks our body from sending messages we are full, it is addictive and when we die our kids will carry on. If we block it now our children may live more fulfilling and longer lives.
