[QUOTE="Bananas 2, post: 1672767, member: 468065"] Consider a low-carb/low-GI diet. Low-GI doesnt necessarily mean high fat. Check out Dr. Richard K Bernstein's plan (on the web and youtube). He is 83, type-1 since age 9, and apparently still in quite good health. His guidelines are a bit too strict, IMO, but his general concept is correct. Fat is not the only glycemic buffer -- there's protein and fiber as well. If you are type-2, then you likely need to watch your cals as well. This necessitates prioritizing fiber first and foremost, then protein, then fat to reduce your meal GI as well as cals. This means... avoid starchy/sugary foods, eat plenty of leafy greens and other fiber rich and low-carb foods, some meat (not too much - cals), and minimal healthy fats (again, cals). Diabetic-friendly fats: Olive oil (of course!) & butter (as CherryAA mentioned)... but also coconut oil, and mustard oil (the "olive oil" of central Asia -- if you like Indian food). I am currently developing an app like no other, it will be a serious game-changer that will help folks in this area (accurate glycemic meal designing/calculating - not another lame calendar-planner-guesser), only it will provide massively more options than Bernstein's plan, while achieving the same results -- due to the massive amount of research and data collection I have done over several years. It's almost complete -- just need some more data regarding meals and people taking Lispro, (I asked a survey question on another thread in this forum - but no responses to the question yet). It is pretty much ready to go for people using R insulin and type-2. Getting meal info for Lispro users seems like pulling teeth. But I digress... Oh, and by the way... last A1c was 4.8.. No lows below 50, very few below 60.... no highs over 300 for the past year, and very few (7%) above 200 (associated with cold/flu). 63% of BG checks in the 70-150 range. [/QUOTE]
