Do You Follow A Specific Diet To Help With Diabetes?
I have been controlling my diabetes by diet alone for nearly two years. I focus on protein adding low-carb veggies like green leafy vegetables, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, radishes, etc. I don't eat until 11 or 12, even though I often wake at 6 am. I avoid all snacking. I joke I am racist, avoiding white things like flour, sugar, rice and potatoes.
No I don't follow a diet. I have type 2 Diabetes. I spent 2 months documenting what I ate daily, then I cut out all things sweet, (cakes, chocolate, sweets etc). I cook for a family of 4 so, I find you cant really diet. We buy and eat fresh savoury meals all the time. I find some foods I can eat and others not so as they bring on symptoms like Diarrhea, thrush etc etc. I have found I can eat pizza, pasta, white rice, potatoes with no problems. I do exercise in the form dancing, yoga, indoor cycle 4 times per week. I have lost weight and dropped a dress size and still going. So I recon I am doing something right. My sugar levels are stable as long as I eat only what I can.
Hello, I cut out sodas,I too was addicted also cut ice cream out. I eat lots of salads oatmeal with granola bits. Drink lots of water, vegetables. I switched my yogurts to plain yogurt tasts bad so I add nuts,granola bits. Much better. Waiting for next doc apt in Nov to see if my numbers went down. I hope so I am a 61 pre-diabetic.
I find that protein is key. It makes feel fuller for an extended period of time.
@A DiabetesTeam Member I tried it once couldn’t swallow it. It’s a texture thing.
