Which fruit can you tolerate? At mo I have just been having raspberries and strawberries. X
That's basically it; berries! Usually with unsweetened whipped cream or clotted cream to go with it, or full fat greek yoghurt. :)

Hi, can I just add that blueberries and blackberries are also okay for most diabetics. I have about 8 to 10 blueberries in my Greek yoghurt with no problems with spikes :)

Proper commercial poo bags? The ones we buy are scented. I wouldn't fancy eating blackberries from one of those. ;)
No, they are not scented. Perfuming a poo bag seems a bit like fitting an ashtray to a motorbike.

Spiders any bugs. Horror films and diabetes even tho I’ve reversed it.
It took me 27 years to develop after GD pregnancy. I’m sure you can turn it around as I did once (but piled weight back on re: lockdown) and am now on 1 metformin a day but I’m gonna come off those 100%. You have a very good attitude. X
Hi were u type 2 before and done diet and exercise then it came back because of weight gain because of lock down I had gestational diabetes with my 4 kids I’m 37 then in March I was tired weeing a lot got a blood test done it was 54 mm then I went back June 36mm diet exercise only I’ve reversed it now I’m hoping to keep it that way for ever but I don’t know if it will come back hopefully it won’t I’m going work my **** of to make sure xx

Don't forget the rhubarb! The only fruit sanctioned by Dr Richard K Bernstein ("Diabetes Solution"). But without sugar, obviously! Now I am used to avoiding sugar, I often find the sweetness of natural Greek yoghurt enough contrast to the tartness of the fruit, or I sometimes turn to erythritol for that castor sugar crunch.

I’m impressed! Rhubarb is the one and only reason I keep a bottle of Stevia drops in the cupboard.. :)
