My grandmother is diabetic, and went through much the same epiphany you have. She and her sister are doing South Beach together, and they both love it. From what I've seen, they eat damn good food, too, so if you're looking for a painless diet change, I'd say check out South Beach. I'm around if you need help with anything. Good luck. |

I may see you about whats all in this diet you are using and see what will work for me. I went shopping last night for {airquote}healty{/airquote} food. Ate my rasin brand this morning and am thinking about a non fast food good way to eat my lunch. Hemoglobin A1C test today to see whats all going to happen and stuff. I know its going to be bad. But I gotta start somewhere. |
Heh, heh... oh I know.  I'll admit, the initial two weeks are tough. Invest in a foreman's grill and get a bunch of frozen burgers and hot dogs... or, being from WI, load up on brats.
When I was first diagnosed, I hadn't talked to a specialist yet... so I had no idea what to eat. I just kept thinking "healthy". I got some Boca Burgers. Those are the most HORRID things I have ever tasted. Never again. Important thing to remember is that it's not necessarily what you eat, for diabetics, it's primarily carbs that are our bane. So sure, go out to eat... get a wrap as opposed to a bun. If you go out for chinese, just limit your rice intake. Pizza? Thin (crust) to win. I hit up Subway an awful lot. Most restaurants today accomodate for low-to-no carb diets.
Initially, my cholesterol and triglycerides were literally off the chart. For real, I ended up in the hospital more than once with pancreatitis. But even with as "unhealthy" a diet as Atkins, It only took about 5 months to get me healthy again. Go figure.
Best o'luck with your test, mang. |

I have no idea what the burgers are but if theyre amything like tinned burgers, TAKE THEM AWAY, ill have proper butcher shop burgers thank you very much!
lol, funny story about that, i gotfed up of mcdonalds claiming their "ham"burgers were 100% beef(how ham burgers can be made out of beef, when hams is pork i dont know) so took in some proper butchers beef burgers and showed them what for!
back on topic:
my auntie has also just been diagnosed with diabetes, so my mums been told to go for a check, if she comes back as diabetic the whole family will have to go.
i dont know the ins and outs of it at all, but i drink next to nothing, hardly go to the loo, and eat almost nothing but sugar (thats an, exageration, but im a big time chocoholic!) so i think i may be safe. |

I'll laugh when your head just explodes for no apparent reason, and then on autopsy...they tell your family it was diabetes + chocolate + stray dog genes ^_^
But yeah, Boca burgers are decent. I don't remember exactly what's in them, but it's not like spam or anything. There's no meat, of course, I just don't remember what is in them.
...but Shino has some in the fridge. brb ^_^
Edit: The verdict? SOY! Raise your hand if you saw it coming. That actually is a good thing, because soy is full of protein, just like real meat. Just in case you somehow become allergic to real meat. You know. Cuz, that's gonna happen. Really <_< |
