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.

I will answer your question by saying what my deitician told me. A diabetic can eat anything as long as it is in moderation. This person should see a dietician if she is confused. There is no such thing as sugar free ice cream because milk has a certain amount of sugar in it. There is no sugar added ice cream which is better for diabetics. I would also recommend low fat or fat free ice cream.

The main causes of diabetes are heredity and being overweight. If you eat enough ice cream or any other food to make you gain a lot of weight, you're taking a risk, but sugary foods by themselves will not cause diabetes.

Answer 8

You can have anything you want as a diabetic, even sugar products as long as you count the carbs and watch the calories. I don't know why people think you have to cut sugar completely out just because of diabetes. You must be aware of what you eat, in what amount and the carbs contained in the foods you choose.

Answer 9

Only her doctor /dietician can safetly answer the question.
However, here are some guidelines.

Sugarless ice cream is safe for diabetics to eat. The problem is, when they remove the sugar, they increase the fat content.

So, Yes or no, depending upon your cholesterol, weight, risk for heart disease (heart disease is the #1 killer of diabetics).

I used to eat sugarless ice cream all the time. Then during a CT scan for the kidney, a piece of my heart got in the CT picture...so the doctor commented on it: heart disease, advanced for age. I was starting to get heart disease (plaque building up on inside of blood vessel walls.with.calcium deposits on top). Fortunately, I learned this in time to cut out things like sugarless high-fat ice cream (fat meaning cholesterol AND saturated fat listed on the label)

And, as a general rule for carbohydrates, any high-glycemic index foods (white potatoes, rice, white breads,) should not be eaten. High-starch vegetables such as corn, sweet potatoes, peas...should be eaten only in moderation.
Meats do not contain sugar (unless added by manufacturer), they are protein. However, again, you have to watch the fat content of meats. Broiled or Baked Fish or tuna is great protein if you like fish.
Lean chicken (no skin), 93% lean ground beef, other less fatty cuts of beef, pork, turkey, ground turkey,.veal...all are fine. Stay away from lamb, which is very fatty. The usual meat portion for one meal is about the size of a pack of cards.

Eating 5 meals a day (Breakfast, Lunch, snack, dinner, snack) is usually recommended instead of 3 meals.
A "snack" should have no more than 15 grams of carbohydrate.

To get the best care, a dietician can give you a lot more choices. There's a lot of no- or low-sugar treats that are both low in carbs and fat.

Answer 10

Almost anything you want including Ice Cream can be purchased in a sugar free form. Just look around.

Also you might want to check into talking to a dietitian or a diabetic educator they could help with diet a lot!!!

Answer 11

I can never remember is type 2 the shot or the pill i take the pill. anyway it all depends on what your average blood sugar runs if it runs high most of the time then its probably not a good idea except on the rare occasion your sugar is very low but if its low most of the time just make sure check it first an of course don't eat to much because most diabetics including me have to carry candy as a precaution of low sugar.
