[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 293450, member: 33342"] I don't know. Can you contemplate a life without toes and with bleeding eye-balls? At some point you have to accept that you're a diabetic and some things will have to change. If someone had told me when I was diagnosed "just don't eat any chips, mash, French bread, chocolate bars or biscuits and you won't have any complications" I would have literally bitten their hand off in enthusiasm. If you decide those things are more important to you than your long-term health, then go ahead and eat them. Diabetes is a terrible condition but, for the majority of us, it has a rather simple solution, just adjust your diet a bit and you'll be fine. There are of course other options, you might be able to eat some of the things that you list if you were on insulin (although it still wouldn't be sensible to eat them in large quantities). [/QUOTE]
