Definitely no porridge or oats for me either. Protein at every meal, breakfast can be scrambled poached eggs, protein whey smoothie etc. No bread unless it's made from amaranth seeds or teff flour. Generally any type of flour is high carb, it makes it hard to change one's way of eating but one...

The lower the carbs the better. Mine is controlled by diet alone, I take don't use insulin or tablets. I keep an eye on my levels and they only go up with carbs; so no pastas as such but mung bean and black bean turned into pasta from health food shops are good. Doctors say bread is ok but for...

Problem for a lot of people is the gluten, which is almost impossible to digest and it has been proven to cause major problems with thousands of people and not just celiac disease...it can all be researched via books, google and people's experiences.

Sounds great, I couldn't eat oats without BSL going up a bit so I opt for no grain whatsoever, seed flours are fine though , no more insulin and no drugs at all, love it.

Personally I would knock out anything with wheat, I reversed my type 2 by changing to gluten free permanently, breakfast for me is either scrambled eggs and no toast unless I have flatbread made on hand from seeds, such as millet or amaranth etc or I make smoothies from almond milk, protein whey...

I found by eliminating certain foods I reversed my type 2 diabetes. I had to be strict initially but now I have a snack attack now and again. If I listened to the doctors I would be on insulin 3 times a day and a tablet at night, making the drug companies even richer. I take nothing and all is...

Sorry, but doctors don't always know what's best. I have proven that many times. They usually mean well but a lot of them are rigid and refuse to think outside the box. Very low carb, no grains or sugar will bring down your BSL. I have successfully reversed mine by following a particular food...

Sounds the same, I followed a book by Dr Cabot on how to reverse Type 2 Diabetes naturally, I suffered with the no pasta for a bit, but now I am used to it; better than insulin or drugs. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

That great, it sounds like the same type of food that keeps me off insulin. Mind you I was only diagnosed in early June and only only insulin and tablets for one month. No grain whatsoever in my diet, no wheat or starchy foods, potatoes or sweet potatoes etc. If I dare to have a mushy pea pie...

Hi On the 6th June 2014 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, after being admitted to hospital over another issue. During my 3 weeks in hospital that included abdominal surgery I received insulin 3 times a day plus metformin at night. After my release from hospital I set about doing the...
