I totally understand, I tend to gravitate around three main veggies, broccoli, cabbage and green beans. Just when you read the mainstream media I am missing something, always, and of course they can sell it to me.

My backup plan just in case time is limited and I am starving is tinned yellow fish tuna or herring. Some weeks I must admit I will eat this three to four times over a seven day period. What is your back-up plan for a quick go to meal or snack? Just looking for some ideas to keep life a bit more...

Just curious, as a D2 I find myself enjoying and craving coffee with full cream a little more than before the D2 life. Is this something that is going on with me or do you find yourself drinking more coffee? I find the mornings in the last few months a little tougher to get going and the second...

Hello, I have a quick question, I was diagnosed D2 back in Dec 17 and currently taking Metformin 500mg and expecting to be off the Metformin by year end. As a part of controlling D2 the food range for me is not as wide as you would read about in the mainstream media, plus I tend to stick to a...

Godfrey, impressive job on your husband weight loss. I am with everybody else, all he can do is increase the protein and fat. Could be something as simple as adding a tab amount of coconut oil to his coffee in the mornings.

Your cholesterol numbers are not bad. Statins r the go to when you are first diagnosed. Lower the carbs and eat less greasy meat. You need some fat to keep the gallbladder working, loading up on carbs will cause you issues with your gallbladder. I have a few stones too, u just have to watch the...

Diabetes is what I would term a "opportunist" disease. When u r down and out, sick, in-hospital, taking certain meds your numbers will increase. Full cream is way better than milk. A lot of Almond milk has added sugar just like the protein bars. They sneak it under the other names that end in...

Notorious bob, your meal plan is really lean for the numbers you indicate. Are you taking any medicines? Have an ongoing infection? Just based off what I eat, some teas will spike me, straight cow milk will spike me if I am drinking it, and onions beyond just for flavor will spike me. Your...

Karen, what is that saying, the grass is always greener in your neighbors yard? You have so many variable going on with your questions, your friend may doing great according to her frame of reference, her body may handle glucose more efficiently, and maybe her exercise regime is burning off her...

Bless your heart Silky, I hope you start feeling better. As a diabetic you should really watch the frequency you at and what you eat. Grapes and soda just do not fit into your new life as diabetic. The more of these types of foods you eat and drink the more will suffer from the conditions...

Art, wow, sounds way too complex for me the non-scientist. I try to keep it simple now days, try to keep meals going with equal amounts of protein per meal, with a complex carb.

Tudorclare, you are so right about the doctor's advice. As soon as I got home I was looking up a better understanding other than a list. I think the hardest part for me, was at the start of journey most of the meals I read about just did not sound that good or the meal prep was just to complex...

I think we are all different and will respond differently, to some degree. I stopped chasing numbers right after eating, I tend to test 1.5 to 2.0 hours after eating. If I am not back below 5.5 in that time allotted, I will not repeat the food arrangement. In order to achieve my goals, I have...

I think this is great. The best form of exercise is one that feels like you are not exercising. For example, I get really board walking at the park doing the same thing day in day out. If you have trip involved and it motivates you to get you off your bum the better off you will be for it.

I read that tomatoes can be an issue for some. You will read literature out there which supports tomatoes as fruit. If you only got half through, it may be the result of something that occurred before the dinner.

5.38 this morning, last night I ate a snack for a meal. Celery, peanut butter, hot coffee with full cream and square of 85% chocolate.

What is OMAD? Phasing in the exercise is my next step in my journey. I am think about the static bike for the days I cannot get outdoors. How long do you work out on the bike?

I do not know, it maybe labeled as Pepper Jack. It has a little spice, not much, it is the flavor and it is great. I would think any shop that sells cheese would have something similar.

I have never noticed double cream in the store, will look this weekend. Thanks

Sounds yummy, i know what I am buying at the grocery store this weekend. Thanks
