[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1792776, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=474593]@MattGreaves[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Well done on taking action to control your condition and reducing your HbA1c figures. I would agree with others that fruit, especially tropical fruits, are high in sugar and should be avoided. Berries are better though. If you are feeling hungry in the evening hardboiled eggs, avocado, cheese, cold chicken (or any meat), olives or nuts would be better than fruit. I don't blame my healthcare team for giving advice which is detrimental to T2s. It is what they are told to tell us. My dn tells me I am the surgery's 'star patient' as I have got better when most T2s get worse. I said it was because I didn't follow standard NHS advice, but was following a lchf approach to eating. I thought she would tell me off as she is an older nurse, and I assumed she would be old school in her attitudes. But she said lchf does seem to work and didn't understand why the NHS doesn't recommend it. She thought it was because of the High Fat part. And yes our fast/processed foods and sedentary lives are also to blame, for some of us anyway, but that is how modern life is. I blame the big food industry for filling foods with sugars, and the big pharma industry for pushing meds as the only way to deal with the resulting conditions. There are doctors who are now questioning the nutritional advice given by governments over recent decades which has only increased obesity, and worsening health of people. [/QUOTE]
