Thanks a lot for all the responses and advice. I watched a lot of the videos from the diet doctor as well as read all the articles at http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/. Some of the articles there were kind of daunting, but it's good to have the information. It's also good to see that there's hope for becoming normal again.
I'm starting to understand a lot more about everything. There's one thing I'm really wondering about. Lemons are my favorite fruit, and according to google they have 5g carbs and 1.4g of sugar in an entire lemon. What do you guys think about that?
Hi,
As somebody who has to test almost everything they eat, and because I have to eat low carb, I find the whole thing very interesting the number of newbies who question the whys, when, what's and how's!
You, alone have to decide what you eat and the recommendations given are absolutely right that you need to test and experiment on yourself on what food and drink do to you and how you find out how to control the diabetes.
It's not easy going against every thing that you have been told about food and having problems with other things, you need to change your lifestyle to do this.
Eating low carb and exercise is the way to a healthy future.
It's how much you have to reduce your carbs and sugars to do this!
I love fruit!
The only way I find that I can eat it, is by having small pieces throughout the day. You don't have to eat a whole apple or lemon in your case in one go!
I have my berries with full fat plain yoghurt, that slows digestion down. And fills me up for hours.
You need to eat to your meter.
Today I've had a fry up for breakfast
Half an Apple mid morning
Ham salad sandwich 1slice Bergen bread.
Mid afternoon tangerine (small) two tablespoons of yoghurt.
Fish salad for tea
Berries and yoghurt with a couple of pieces of dark chocolate later for supper.
That doesn't sound so bad does it!
There will be some who have already posted. That couldn't eat all that fruit!
We are all different!
