Hi All,
Since being diagnosed a few years ago I have changed so many aspects of my life.
I eat more healthily, exercise more, drink less, etc, etc.
My T2D is reasonably well managed.
I’m always looking for new things to try though. I actually enjoy reading the research, listening to Podcasts, reading books on the subject and so on.
What I find frustrating and very confusing is the seemingly endless conflicting advice.
Don’t eat fruit, it’s got too much sugar. Fruits ok, the fibre reduces your spike and it’s full of good stuff.
Don’t eat carbs. Whole grains are ok because again, the fibre regulates your BG response.
Avoid bread. But, Good quality bread with a high fibre to carb ration is ok in moderation.
Apple cider vinegar will alleviate BG response. Is there research to support this.
Does eating vegetables before carbs actually make a difference?
Dates, prunes, apples, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and numerous other foods are best avoided in one article and encouraged in moderation in another.
Has anyone else encountered these contradictions and if so have they waded through to find clarity?
Thank you.
