Thanks
@Lamont D. It's good to "hear" someone say something sensible about it.
I think since I was diagnosed I have always h had an open mind trying to find how I'm going to get my health back and not be dead, before my time. This involved a lot of discovery of what is best for me and my tastes.
so if it was recommended for me to eat cooked vegetables. I would refuse point blank.
I don't like eating them.
If I can eat veg that is not cooked that is ok I have always liked salads, no dressings of course cos they are just sugars.
I found I'm partial to some fish but I can't eat oily fish or most seafood.
so with my lactose intolerance, with RH, I have had to tailor my food to the way is beneficial to my body, my treatment, my tastes and my BG levels.
other than my body aging with the mental stuff, I'm doing well.
I will find out my latest results next week when we go to see our dsn.
I haven't had a get in touch letter. So I'm hopeful of a decent result.
If not, I will continue to battle on as best I can.
The bottom line is, you know your body better than anyone.
Your eating habits are yours not theirs to understand and commit to.
It's like the meds, too many of us are on too much prescription drugs.
The number of times I have refused them especially statins, metformin.
I have to remind the doctors, dsns and the pharmacy cos a lot of pills have sugars and have lactose in.
I need sugar free tablets or meds when I'm ill.
I take enteric aspirin and irbesarten.
When I was taking sitagliptin, cos it was made by license, my endocrinologist had to find a company that did enteric and no sugar and lactose free.
Fun isn't it?
A lot of cold, flu remedies are just full of nasty stuff for those with metabolic conditions such as diabetes and we keep getting told to take sweets cos that is what they are. Ridiculous, just like the so called diabetic foods that are full of s.......!
Rant over.
Have a wonderful evening.
