[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2143416, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][USER=514858]@Elpurple[/USER], I'm sorry about the being overwhelmed, and the linking sugar and carby food with some of the worst complications of type two. Many of us keep sugar and potatoes/fries and wheat products (flour, bread, pasta etc) at bay by doing precisely that - that's how we keep away from them in order to stay better with type two. And some - to not have type two levels of blood glucose in their blood at all any more. But I see your point. For me, I made that link straight away. I was diagnosed during the day, and read up on type two that night, and went cold turkey on the sugar and high carb and processed food and drink stuff the very next day. And that's how I went from an HBA1c of 93 to 49 in six months, just on moderate levels of carbs (I still ate sweet potato for instance, and apple.). Many folks make more dramatic and bigger and quicker drops than that by radically changing the carb content of their food - that is not me unfortunately. But many do. Whether you choose to drop the traditional roast veg, and change to roast carrots, broccoli and cauli, no traditional gravy - and maybe have a treat meal with the traditional ingredients? (How often seems safe/good for you?) This is totally your business whether you do or not. Of course! It always is. What you choose to eat, or not eat is very intensely personal, imho. About the walking carbs off. I have such bad insulin resistance that I could not walk off potatoes and the flour in the gravy in any kind of hurry. But it might work for you! The only way you are going to know if it works for you is to eat and meter - check your blood glucose levels, and go for that long walk, and check your BG levels, and compare the results. Do it a few times. Do it with different carby foods. Check it with the cake too. It might work! Check it out.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
