Message: <blockquote data-quote="sandy2011" data-source="post: 216121" data-attributes="member: 37009">Me with T2:At first (after being diagnosed) I read that brown rice was better for diabetes so I replaced white rice with brown rice, but the blood sugar did go up so I stopped eating rice, any rice, and pasta.I switched to beans, lentils, steel cut oat and bran (good for the heart), 1200 calories / day.After "trials and errors" I now eat only 2 kinds of fruit: avocados and strawberries (and not often).I eat chickens, tofu, eggs, and fish. Vegetables: broccoli, zuccini, celery, bitter melon, etc.; I try to choose veggies that have 2g of sugar or less per 100g.Yesterday I read about low carb diet and decided I will eat low carb from now on, will cut down beans, lentils, oat, bran and try to limit to 30 to 50 carbs/day and maintain 1200 calories/day.I now drink only unsweetened soy milk. I drink coffee (2 to 3 medium / day)Somehow I read that pumpkin was good for the pancreas and had load GL so recently I ate pumpkin, well, a lot, but I just found out yesterday it has 7g sugar per 100g. So I will have to cut this down too.I eat breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, and try to eat less than being very full. I go jogging 1 hour per day and I've lost 23 lbs in the last 6 months.Me before T2:I ate whatever I wanted.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />  Sigh.. memory lane....Actually I was not into sweet treats much, I hardly ever drank soft drink etc, but I overate and gained weigh..</blockquote>
