Sure can. I do almost every day. Eggs are zero carb and a great little package of vitamins and minerals too.

If you are not allergic to eggs and are not vegan then its a personal chose if you choose to eat them or not - personally no

 

[NoCrbs4Me]

I prefer fried, scrambled or in an omelet. With bacon, of course. Eggs are the perfect food for a type 2.

Eggs are fine to eat for people with diabetes, they do contain a small amount of cholesterol but eaten in moderation they are fine, I probably eat around 8 a week and my cholesterol levels are fine, if in doubt do check with your own Dr first.

 

[Steve_p]

Yes. Unless you're really worried about cholesterol then still yes just not too many (yolk is cholesterol loaded).

 

[Bluetit1802]

I understood that dietary cholesterol has little or no effect on body cholesterol as our bodies make their own cholesterol. Shoot me down if you wish!

I eat about 12 eggs a week, boiled, fried, poached. My cholesterol has improved since my diagnosis.

 

[Steve_p]

Haha, I only ever shoot things I would eat

It's just something I was told which is why if I make a 4 egg omelette I remove one of the yolks. I always say, if it works for you then stick with it.

Eggs are great choice and so versatile too
Many many many ways to cook with these also .

Eggs like me and I like them

Phew! I got a bit worried just then when I saw that question '" Can diabetics eat boiled eggs?" I have just eaten boiled egg for lunch and it was yummy. I don't have them very often, may be every few months or so and don't indulge in fried, scrambled or omelettes as I don't like them mores the pity.

No need to shoot you down. What you stated is well documented.

I'm impressed with everyone's egg capacities.

I get a bit egg bound if I have too many.
7 in a week would, for me have pungent and clogging effects.

 

[greyposter]

I will poach an egg for dinner and test later .

I eat about a dozen eggs a week because they are high protein. Ignore any comments about cholesterol. As has already been mentioned, dietary cholesterol has shown little correlation with blood lipid levels. Eggs are a great food and should be consumed by everyone! (unless you are allergic when it might not be such a good idea)

 

[NoCrbs4Me]

I eat 3 eggs every morning for breakfast. My cholesterol numbers have never been better due to low carb (<100 g a day).

And I remove one egg white of three! Too high in protein for me.

The yolks are magic. At least ours are, we keep chickens.

 

[LittleGreyCat]

Hmmm.....I eat at least 3 eggs a day normally.
Usually 3 scrambled in butter for breakfast, along with bacon, mushrooms, tomato.
May have hard boiled later on, but not so often.
They are a very good food for T2 diabetics IMHO.

Tip - six large free range eggs for £1 at Lidl.
Usually buy them 24 at a time.

As long as you're not allergic to eggs, the anwer is yes. Boiled, scrambled, fried, omlettes, poached, coddled any way you like. I sometimes do a few tablespoons of peeled chopped tomatoes on a slice of ham, make dip in the middle and crack in an egg then bcke until the egg sets.
