Eating no grains would work even better, along with cutting out crack coca... err, I mean sugar (aka high fructose corn syrup).

The problem with grains is they are carbs and carbs contribute to type 2 diabetes. One diabetic, the allowed carbs are very low. It is probably best for everyone to keep carbs at a modest level, not actually keto but maybe around 40 carbs per day. Two carb servings generally gets one up to about 34 carbs.

So if the gravy and breading on your chicken-fried steak is whole grain will that help?

I have type 2 diabetes and let me just state for the record:

THIS IS A BOLD FACE LIE!

Just use a glucose reader to find out for yourself. Stupid doctors gave me this stupid advice and tons of meds to control my sugar levels. NOTHING they told me worked.

I went online and studied the problem. I used my meter to check what I was told.

CARBS AND SUGARS are the SAME. My sugar reading this morning was 105. I have an a1c of 5.7. I have cut my metformin to 1/3 of what they had me on and hope to get off it altogether after I lose a bit more weight (I’ve lose 35 pounds so far).

You wanna know what to eat? AVOID: Grains and Sugars (No rice, flour, potatoes, few beans). Eat tons of GREEN veggies and lean meats. Drink lots of water. There are certain vitamins and minerals which can aid you and get out there and walk.

There. Fixed that.

got a real problem with this article basically comparing the US to Finland and the conclusion drawn from it.

Whole grains, any of them are very high in carbohydrates and are converted immediately in sugar within the body.

I think this article is very bad science.

If you have an A1C of 5.7, don’t you no longer have diabetes. In many countries it’s not even prediabetes.

>>Whole grain causes sever intestinal trouble for me.

It takes along time (few months) to get used to eating them (grains and/or lots of fiber, fresh veggies, beans etc), but your body does get used to them. Bummer if you work in an office with other people though :>)

No vegetable seed oils, no sugar, no grains & you can prevent/reverse T2D.

BTW, just saw a statistic last week - pediatric T2D has increased 182% over the last year. Lotsa’ kids eating lotsa’ processed/junk food, right along with their parents.

Someone, like Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Bret Scher, will take a look at this study in depth & let the good people know what it really shows (or doesn’t). Also, who sponsored the study - might be enlightening.

I had the beginnings of type to (I believe) and I switched to basically a meat and veggies diet and it’s greatly improved.

But I also east some fruits- I believe God made them for us, so who am I to question it? Everything in moderation.

ALSO cut out *ALL* WHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The single biggest factor in improving my overall health. and I lost 20 pounds.

I had swollen feet and I tried something new- SOUR CHERRY juice. I notice immediate improvement. Have you tried it??
