[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1510394, member: 355878"] Ah - potatoes are off limits for most type 2 diabetics as they increase blood glucose so drastically - mine shot up into the teens and stayed there for hours - I tested it once and have not eaten any since. I'm afraid that the standard healthy diet as trotted out by health care professionals is totally wrong for me - my levels would not have gone down at all if I was following the guidelines I was given at the diabetes education sessions. I am fine with huge salads - I have about 1/3rd a bag of ready made salad, with cucumber, creamy coleslaw, tomatoes, radishes, finely sliced celeriac, fennel - all sorts - with a protein such as tuna, eggs, cheese, shrimps or salmon or other fish - which is a nice lunch on a hot day. In the evening I have meat or fish with mushrooms, courgette, or other low carb veges and a dessert of low carb fruits and cream. I have coffee with cream or a herbal tea, or my own brewed ginger beer with artificial sweetener. [/QUOTE]
