[QUOTE="walnut_face, post: 1235086, member: 292414"] Hi [USER=325261]@Quirkybee[/USER] and welcome! All those fears and anxieties will soon evaporate, honest! I am only 8 months ahead of you, but for the first time I feel in control of my body, knowing what different foods do. Having looked at what you eat you seem to have followed the advise of the Health Care Pros almost to the letter. So how unfair that you have T2D? I note that you eat a lot of low fat variants of food. Can I urge you to spend a few moments comparing the labels of full fat and so called 'healthy' low fat alternatives? Look at the sugar content of low fat, it is more likely than not to be higher than in full fat versions. This is how the food industry restore the taste good factor when fat is stripped out. For a T2D sugar is far worse than fat. Also if you eat higher fat you will find it more filling and may not need to snack (so much) between meals. Again if you do need to nibble try nuts instead of fruit. This is a long haul and as the days go by you will gain more and more knowledge. As other have said get a meter, a meter will tell you what is good for YOU to eat, and no one or nothing else [/QUOTE]
