Well last night I couldn't ditch the jacket potato and had mince and gravy with it. I then took a 1 hour walk as suggested by my parents to walk off the jacket potato. My parents want to eat healthy and lose weight as they have both put weight on, but they still buy chocolate bars and crisps and I had some chocolate bars last night and no crisps. My mum decided to buy salad veg and bananas, grapes, oranges, apples for me and her to have as we are the only two in the family that tries and eat healthy
Jacket potato, chocolate bars, crisps, bananas, grapes and oranges all high in carbs and would never appear in my list of healthy foods as a type 2. Even apples are debatable. Berries are the better fruit choice and salads are good, providing you are careful with the dressings which are often extremely loaded with sugars and carbs.
I'm sorry for saying this but I really think you need to be a bit more in charge of your diet, it's your body, you are the one with diabetes, you that will suffer the complications that will occur if you dont control your BG's, and to be totally blunt you need to accept responsibility and control rather than just going with the flow.
