[QUOTE="Winnie-the-Pooh, post: 2203489, member: 517728"] I’m so sorry about the cashews . But now you know they increase BG. We are all in the same boat , just some ( like me ) miss food more than others . I was lucky enough to be able to see lots of specialists , nutritionists and to have lots of them among my family and relatives too . The advice I have been given by all of them is a balance diet of protein like meat and egg , vegetables and less than 100 gr of complex carbs . I noticed this diet serves me more than any other diet out there and that is why your endocrinologist would never put you on any other diet out there . So I would stick to what my doctors say and use peer advice to slightly enhance it - within doctors advice. So I think you made a good decision eating veggies again and for me veggies also fill me up so I won’t want snacks as much ( I was never a big snacker but still ). Also they have minerals and vitamins that help your cardiovascular system which is in danger by diabetes . The goal of diabetes treatment is not just controlling blood sugar , there is much more to it. I have diabetic friends ( even type 1 ) that using this diet and a tight control of insulin , they have had A1C under 5.5 for many many years nearly a decade . So it’s possible. But I think it needs a good doctor to watch your insulin closely for a while . I know diet is terrible but if it helps us to stay healthier longer and enjoy all life has to offer . Then maybe it is a good price to pay ? I say maybe because one has to be skeptical. Sending hugs [emoji847] [/QUOTE]
