I'm pretty sure the advice wasn't because of all your interesting articles, but simply aimed at newly diagnosed diabetics who struggle to internalise that fat is good and are still used to automatically choosing the lower fat options of foods.However, I have a question about why it says, "oil, not brine.". Is this diabetic specific? Or should I be more aware of avoiding brine? What's the evidence and consensus?
If you would eat exactly the same but only leave out the carby parts, you'd not get enough calories. That's why you need to up other nutrients."if you ditch the carbs, you should up another macro-nutrient to compensate" (Fats and/or protein) (I didn't know this)
However, I have a question about why it says, "oil, not brine.". Is this diabetic specific? should I be more aware of avoiding brine or having oil? What's the evidence and consensus?
An important reason we should pay more attention to the assigned healthcare professional team - or at least get their opinion.
Interesting difference between our countries. Supermarkets in my (and JoKalsbeeks) country have different brands of tuna, all brands provide the choice between water, sunflower oil or olive oil, so trouble finding it isn't likely to have been a consideration when the Nutritional Thingy was written.so I’d prefer brine over oil unless you find canned tuna in extra virgin olive oil.
most canned tuna in oil is seed oil (sunflower or similar)
I agree, haven't seen too many cans of tuna in olive oilCynically, it will be the cheapest/lowest specification.
I can quite happily open a tin of tuna in olive oil, or red salmon as it comes in the tin and literally eat from the tin. I must be the only one in my family that can do that
I can do this and with sardines too. Delicious!' Unfortunately, m now trying to do the right thing to hopefully reverse the diabetes.
my healthcare team don't appear to know about low carb for diabetes and have little nutritional knowledge.
Why unfortunately? I would have thought that tuna, in any form, was fine for T2s. (And T1s, I love my tuna).
I'm puzzled too, a tin of sardines or tuna sounds like a meal perfectly suited to go with diabetes!I can do this and with sardines too. Delicious!' Unfortunately, m now trying to do the right thing to hopefully reverse the diabetes. And find something that suits both of us (my wife and I). My wife was always the healthier one, so she right behind me.
