[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2422735, member: 517579"] Sorry to hear your story -this seems to happen a lot, and it's unacceptable. Fruit is not always a good thing for T2. I can't tell you what will work for your husband, but I can tell you what works for me - he'll need a meter and testing to work his own tolerances out. Fruit has lots of carbs - one apple has as much carb as I eat in a day - and the main sugar is fructose which has, or can have, unfortunate liver impact. I don't eat a lot of fruit anymore - and all I do eat is strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and occasionally blueberries. Have a look at dietdoctor for the relative carb content -https://[URL="http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/u3"]www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/u3[/URL] Same goes for veg. Root vegetables (potatoes, parsnips, carrot, beetroot etc) are high in carbs so I avoid them. Above ground, especially the leafy green stuff, many fewer carbs. I have a bit of a thing with peas, so they are not something I eat often. Pastry, unfortunately for me, is right out. It sends my bloods rocketing. You will have to rethink all you've ever heard about what's healthy eating and what's not, what the media and friends say. The NHS recommended Eatwell diet is (in my opinion) dangerous for T2s or those whose BG is rising, even if it hasn't yet hit the arbitrary 48. [/QUOTE]
