[QUOTE="mrawfell, post: 328013, member: 34555"] Re: MILK and Diabetes Postby mrawfell » less than a minute ago Princeasl, I have retired to the Philippines, where rice is the staple diet, and potatoes are relatively expensive. However when I was diagnosed about 2 years ago, I accepted, rice, potatoes, white bread, pasta, spagetti etc, all had to go. I had a choice, change my diet or suffer the consequences. My doctor presciribed Metformin, and vildaglitin. Again I had a choice, take them or not. I considered the situation for about 20 seconds, thought about the slow agonising death, with all the stages in between, amputation, blindness etc. It happened to one of my friends. This or take the tablets, and change my diet, and live like a normal person. I can't see the problem in making a decision. Just be aware brown rice, whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes ( yes ) have a lower G.I. this means they release the starch/glucose more slowly, not that they contain less. To be honest, I would be very concerned if my figures were high as yours. mrawfell Posts: 75 Joined: May 24th, 2011, 9:20 pm Top [/QUOTE]
