If it really comes to that then it is bad and is letting diabetes rule your life . Diabetes is a part of our lives not the whole of it we should not stop doing the things we always have done just because we have diabetes.Personally I wouldn’t be going at all, due to the inflammatory oils used for frying, but I’m funny like that
I think some can take the diet thing a bit to far and then it rules their life then they can never enjoy a meal out with friends and family. It won't kill any of us to eat something out that we do not normally eat on a day to day basis at homeI totally agree with you but also see Jim’s point. I guess we have to make a judgement call for ourselves and not follow an overly prescriptive approach too steadfastly

Well, I went out for dinner and had the fish without batter and salad the salad had sweet corn and peppers in it but I ate it anyway I wouldn't normally chose to eat sweet corn now. I was 4.8 before the meal and 6.6 2 hours later not a rise I was wanting tbh but not a bad spike either.
Thank you.So glad you enjoyed it.
Those numbers are fine - stop stressing so much - everyone rises including people without diabetes - glad you had a good time - that's what life is aboutWell, I went out for dinner and had the fish without batter and salad the salad had sweet corn and peppers in it but I ate it anyway I wouldn't normally chose to eat sweet corn now.

Thank you. I do need to stop stressingThose numbers are fine - stop stressing so much - everyone rises including people without diabetes - glad you had a good time - that's what life is about

How about flax seed? I am taking that upon forum advice to help deal with constipation that has occurred owing to LCHF dietary changes@Pinkorchid I totally agree with @Jim Lahey and @bulkbiker that I absolutely would not touch those seed oils. It has nothing to do with the diabetes (at least I don't think it has) but I have had real problems with inflammation for about 50 years and by not eating the seed oils since I started low carbing I am much improved.
So I actually would prefer that avoiding diabetes and avoiding my other health issues taking over my life rather than having to deal with the side effects of the inflammation which have taken over my life on many occasions or the side effects of diabetes. I was heading towards sight loss and probable foot loss. I cannot believe that either would not have completely taken over my life.
Apologies for the rant - but I do feel quite strongly about this.
I think flax seeds are ok. I have organic ground flax seeds with my kefir and yoghurt for breakfast. I have problems with the highly processed oils but have not experienced problems with the ground flaxseeds.How about flax seed?

Thanks Krystyna. They certainly seem to help me.I think flax seeds are ok. I have organic ground flax seeds with my kefir and yoghurt for breakfast. I have problems with the highly processed oils but have not experienced problems with the ground flaxseeds.

It was nothing to do with eating seed oils or being good or bad avoiding them is a personal preference The thing I commented on was not going out because of them that is not good diabetic or not if we let things like that stop us having a normal life. No one is forcing us to have food cooked in seed oils if we don't want it even when eating outWow! Just wow! Talk about judgemental.
I don't eat seed oils either and to be honest nor should anybody... I don't think that taking care of what we eat is letting anything "rule your life" more like attempting to prolong it in the best health possible.
Agreed it is personal choice but why let it stop you going out to eat .We usually go out to enjoy time with friends and family and not let what we do or don't eat eat stop usNothing to do with diabetes. I just don’t like consuming those oils. Personal choice.
My post was not about seed oils being good or bad and how people feel about them that is up to them and a different subject. I just do not understand how objecting to the oils would stop anyone from going out and enjoying time with friends and family surely that is important in our lives@Pinkorchid I totally agree with @Jim Lahey and @bulkbiker that I absolutely would not touch those seed oils.
