[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1461270, member: 375067"] It is hard to change a lifetime of eating habits. Recently I have been eating cauliflower rice with curry instead of rice. Bread needs to be avoided and eating potatoes minimised. Blood sugars need to be in the 4-7 range and below 8.5 after a meal. If you have spikes of 10+ then you risk complications such as neuropathy (nerve damage) and eye damage. Life expectancy with high blood sugar is about 10 years less. High blood sugar causes poor circulation and slow healing. About 10% of diabetics get foot ulcers and if these don't heal then it can result in toe, foot or leg amputations. In the UK there are about 135 diabetic amputations a week. You should watch the BBC Panorama program Diabetes the hidden killer on iPlayer. It starts with a guy with type 2 having his leg cut off in hospital. It is a tragedy and a wake up call for everyone with high blood sugars to change their diet immediately. [/QUOTE]
