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.
If you have an A1C of 5.7, don’t you no longer have diabetes. In many countries it’s not even prediabetes.
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??
So ture. No sugar. No grains.
I do make an exception for an occasional single malt Scotch!
Exactly right.
“Eat tons of GREEN veggies and lean meats.”
Agree with all, but meat should be fatty if not eating carbs...because low-fat, combined with low carbs, will drive up protein...and that that stresses kidneys, a lot.
BINGO
You don’t have to eat tons of green veggies. Just add vegetables in small quantities to your meats. And definitely eat potatoes over beans. Gut bugs love potato starch and they are our digestion, our immune system, and our brain moods.
