[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2090408, member: 41816"] It would have made far more sense if he had said something like 'fruit will raise blood glucose and isn't great for type 2s. You will heal faster and better if you avoid foods that raise your blood glucose out of range, this includes most fruit but also starchy root veg like potato and grains like rice, bread, pasta, and so on.' As for the sweeteners, yes, some people find they get an insulin reaction from artificial sweeteners (with knock on effects to blood glucose and weight gain). But other people don't. You would do best to test out your own reaction to them, and then adjust your intake accordingly. There are also a whol range of sweeteners, some really chemically, and others more 'natural', and reactions vary between them, and from person to person. Do you have a testing kit so that you can find out what fruit and sweeteners (and all the carby foods) do to you? As a diet controlled T2, you can't rely on medication to control your blood glucose, so it is really down to reducing carb intake via food choices and portion control. The other option is exercise, but with severe arthritis, I am guessing that is not a good suggestion for you! [/QUOTE]
