Hi I’m julieclarke I’ve joined to find out more about T2 diabetes

the only issue is that the last results i was given were back in January 2024 when i went to a Diabetic course, they suggested i eat more fruit and veg, only issue being that to get told to eat half a apple a day and a handful of grapes but as alot of people do is eat nearly the whole punnet, and they contain the most sugar content of 22 gms per grape. i dont drink milk or have milk products as i am not keen on its taste but i do eat alot of cheese which is high in fat content and can cause my carbs to spike. i dont eat rice pudding or semilina but i do eat rice, on veg wise, i dont have brussels or green beans, but i do eat the rest
 
Hi Julie, I thought you might find this link about low carb diets and diabetes interesting.

Not all diabetics like to follow a low carb diet but as you have been posting in the low carb forum I thought you might like to see more information about it. It can be very helpful in controlling diabetes.

 
i ate love hearts
I'm completely puzzled. I'm assuming love hearts are a type of candy?
Earlier tonight you mentioned eating a Mars bar. Both are very high sugar/carb.

You've joined because you want to learn more about diabetes, and you've had T2 for almost 20 years.
What would you like to learn about diabetes, do you have any questions?
 
I don’t eat any sweets as they are very bad for my blood sugar.

What is your blood sugar test result tonight after eating macaroni cheese, a mars bar and love hearts?
 
they are my fav sweets what is your sweets do you have your fav foods
I have lots of favourite foods.
But I also have diabetes, which means I don't process sugar and carbs very well.

So I would never eat sweets just because I like them, they make my blood glucose go up way too high!
