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 5

AVOID sugars and sodas. Cakes, most snack foods. Bsically it's all about carb counting. Your meals should have a certain amount of carbs as well as your snacks. Insulin is given different for people. Some have insulin after they eat. Others calculate the carbs, figure the dosage then have a shot before they eat. I learned this last year . Carry a tube of cake decorating gel as an emergency pick up if your sugar goes too low. Also if you pass out and people know you have it or glucagon they can give it to you easily.

Cheeses and meats have low to no carbs. Check the diabetes website for help with foods.

Answer 6

Try to avoid simple sugars and eat foods as close to their natural state as possible.

Eat complex carbs, good fats, and lean protein. Stay away from anything fried, greasy, or breaded.

The goal is to eat healthy and low calorie, not just low carb or low sugar.

At some point down the road, the occasional treat is ok, but you will need to see a dietitian to help you work things into your meal plan. Also, you need to make a big change, and it helps to go cold turkey at first.

Sample meals:

Breakfast:
1/2 cup oatmeal with flax seed on top
1/2 cup skim milk
1 apple

Snack: Unsweetened natural peanut butter on celery sticks or a handful of plain nuts.

Lunch:
1/ 4 cup Low fat cottage cheese or low fat cheese cubes
1 Low fat and diet yogurt
Lean turkey sandwich on WHOLE WHEAT bread.
Diet Coke, Water, or V8 Vegetable Cocktail

Snack:
3 cups plain air-popped popcorn
Veggie sticks
An orange

Dinner:
1/3 cup BROWN rice
Grilled salmon or chicken breast
Salad or vegetables

Good luck! Pretty soon, you body will actually crave the healthy stuff as you begin to feel better. A lot of these foods are high fibre. As a Type 2 diabetic, fibre is your friend. ;)

Answer 7

People with diabetes can eat anything in the world.
It's all about counting carbos.
I would think your doctor and/or diabetes educator would give you this info.
Get a new doctor and sign up for an education class at your local hospital.
Good luck.

Answer 10

I have had type 2 diabetes for years. You need to avoid anything of a greatly sugary nature. Almost all desserts and regular soda ar right out. All other foods you only really need to be aware of the sugar content. Salad dressings for example have come a long way, now you can drown your salad with the best of them, if you choose the right ones. I have not touched regular soda (a previous fav) since I was diagnosed. And if you lose alot of weight you MIGHT be able to beat diabetes into submission. There are documented cases of people beating it away completely.
