Answer 1

Hi Natalie,

I recommend you get this book I got and learn all you can about foods you should have and those you should avoid. Eating is not about pleasure anymore....

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:
http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

This is one of the big bumps in the road with adjusting to a new life. Kinda sucks, doesn't it?

Saltine crackers - right out of the package, pretzels...what do you mean by "a-lot of?" What kind of insulin regimen are you currently following? Do you use an insulin pump?

Be sure to read your labels carefully. You can still eat anything you want, as long as you watch HOW MUCH of that item you eat. Serving Size, Total carbohydrates (CHO's) per serving. These are the two most important things on a label for you right now. You'll really need to watch your fats intake also. The number one cause of stroke, heart attack and blindness in this country is Diabetes.

How about those rice cakes? Cheerios one serving measured and eaten right "out of the box?" Paper Napkin?

It sounds like you are very hungry right now. Research has shown that the action of chewing is the thing that makes us feel 'full.' When astronauts chewed sugarless gum for an hour before and an hour after eating, they were feeling "full." When they did not chew gum, they remained feeling "hungry" even though they had all the nutrients their bodies required.

I'll keep thinking because there are lots more...

I'm around for some support if you are having trouble or questions ... or just want to talk to someone.

I hope I've helped a little tiny bit.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 7

Sorry that you had to join this club no one asks to join. Depending on what type of treatment you're on, there really should be no off limit foods. Hopefully you're on multiple daily injections, or MDI. this is where you take long or intermediate insulin once or twice a day and fast acting insulins before you eat. Of course you want to limit high saturated fats that come from animal sources, but in moderation and included in an otherwise well balanced diet you'll be fine. I'm not a huge fan of lettuce either, but I love fresh spinach, which is much better than lettuce anyway. Experiment with different vegetable, try them raw and fresh. I love the fresh spinach but cook it or pour it out of a can I'll gag. Same thing with carrots, don't like them cooked but love them raw. Limit red meats and chose only lean cuts when you do eat them. Poultry white meat, chicken and turkey, are good choices. Tuna and Salmon are good choices to...either fresh or packed in water. Fruits that are higher in fiber are best. Most all berries fall into that category. Apples are good too. You really should see a dietician. they can help you find foods you like and incorporate them in your diet based on your ideal weight. What is going to keep your arteries clear has more to do with living a healthy lifestyle and keeping your blood pressure normal. Be sure to stay active and incorporate exercise into your daily routine.

Answer 10

You can eat oatmeal every day. Put dried fruit in it, blueberries one day, cranberries another, raisins some other time.

You can eat tuna too. If you like it with mayo, use low-fat mayo. But it's good with a tomato and whole-wheat crackers.

Don't eat a 'whole lot' of anything at one sitting; the ticket for you is to eat four to six small meals each day to space out the effect of digesting and converting foods to energy.

Good luck!
