Diabetes has found it's way into our family, and the medical team and doctors are only GREAT about telling us all the things we CANNOT eat...but is there a list anywhere of the things that we CAN eat, that are "free" exchanges or OKAY anytime. The negative approach from the medical community is very disappointing and hard to find encouraging for helping my family. If anyone can offer some simple to follow ideas without having to go purchase a lot of books, I'd really appreciate it. We'd prefer to stay away from meats if possible--and fish, there are other health complications to consider including a transplanted organ, wo we concern ourselves with a program that will blend in with finely tuned heart health, as well. Thanks.

Yes, you have a big variety of foods that are okay to eat. Just making sure you are eating the right portions and not loading stuff with sugar. Stir fry's come into thought and are very easy to make. I know you said no fish, but i don't really eat fish except tuna and shrimp. if these are in your category of stuff that's okay, there are so many ideas, also if you mean no meat, but poultry is okay, again, tons of ideas. Asian Stir Fry foods are healthy when prepared at home. Breads, which docs say are no no's for diabetics can be consumed, but are more costlier. I buy Aunt Millie's high fiber 35 calorie a slice bread and limit myself to 2 slices a day. Also, I eat alot of cauliflour and brocolli. What another method to do is a web based search on low calorie recipes. Low calorie usually means low sugar since sugar has alot of empty calories, so any of those recipes are usually good to follow. Try some recipes, check your blood sugar after them, like you should with any meal from now on, and take it from there. If you need any help,,,stacey1273@gmail.com

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.

You could do as I have done and build your own list. Most veggies are not only low carb, they're loaded with important nutrition like potassium which is essential in keeping the cell walls less resistant to insulin. Don't be scared by the calories either. Calories from fruits, nuts, and vegetables are different than those from prepared foods. They're balanced with essential nutrients. Read more about that here:

Learning to count calories (from carbs) is the easiest way I've found to keep track of what's going in. Here's the best site I've found to help with that:

Finally, learn from someone who is having remarkable success in controlling his diabetes... (yours truly):

I can't begin to tell you how much of a difference it makes in giving your body the foods it was designed for. Whether you're a creationist or Darwinian... makes no difference. Our bodies were custom tailored for those foods that Mother Nature provides. All one has to do is look at the rate of type two diabetes (almost zero) in civilizations that adhere to living off the land instead of Kraft, ConAgra, Nabisco, and the like (nearly 10% of the population) in civilizations such as ours. It amazes me that this still is one of the best kept secrets in America.

Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates. Eat balanced meals at regular times. Whole grain carbs are good. Losing weight helps control diabetes.

Make sure to see an endocrinologist- not your GP.
You need an appointment with a dietitian and a diabetes support group.
Yo will soon learn to count carbohydrates and what foods to eat.You will soon design your own menus.
Subscribe to diabetes magazines and keep up on the latest research.
None of us can do this for you.
Good luck.
